Please, Can I Get a Puppy?<\/b><\/p>\n
Sometimes when I am feeling down, I wish that there was a place I where I can roll around with puppies. \u00a0Puppies have a magical power of making me feel better. They\u2019re cute, sweet and cuddly. Unfortunately, I do not have the time or resources to get my own dog at the moment. \u00a0And I\u2019m tired of being that creepy person lingering at the dog park without a dog of my own. Lucky for me and other NYC dog lovers, we now have a place to go to play with dogs when we are feeling down or simply long for the feeling you get when scratching a dog\u2019s tummy. \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>For an annual fee of $25, you can become part of the Biscuits & Bath \u201cBuddy Program\u201d<\/a> and stop by to play with the boarded dogs whenever you desire (during normal business hours, of course!). <\/span>It may be the next best thing if you wish you had a dog but can\u2019t afford one, or if you live in a no-pet building.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Become a Puppy Buddy<\/b><\/p>\n As someone who recently went through the process, I can tell you that joining the Biscuits & Bath Buddy Program is not too time-consuming or challenging. \u00a0First, I went to the website, cited above, to fill out an application which included a request for three references. I was contacted approximately one week later to go on an interview at the <\/span>41 W 13th Street location in Manhattan. \u00a0I was asked a few questions about my experience and history with dogs, received oral instructions for how to interact with the dogs, and was handed a trusty referral guide for additional information on being a Buddy. \u00a0Once approved, I paid $25, received a photo ID, and an adorable Buddy T-shirt. Within a half hour, I was playing with adorable pups and forgetting my stresses for the day. Your identification card and T-shirt permits you to access any of Biscuits & Bath\u2019s 13 locations around Manhattan. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pet Therapy is Real<\/b><\/p>\n It turns out that the happy, comforting feeling you get when petting a dog is not something you imagined. \u00a0Studies show that spending time with a dog actually increases the level of the hormone oxytocin in both the human and the dog<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0\u201cOxytocin\u201d is sometimes referred to as the “love hormone,” because of levels of oxytocin increase during hugging and orgasm. The hormone may also have benefits as a treatment for a number of conditions, including\u00a0depression,\u00a0anxiety, and intestinal problems.<\/span>\u00a0Oxytocin<\/a> has both physical and psychological effects, including influencing social behavior and emotion.<\/span> Moreover, research shows that petting a dog may also decrease the stress hormone cortisol<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>Recent research on human-dog interactions showed that talking to and petting a dog are accompanied by lower blood pressure in the person than human conversation<\/a>!<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Human Friends are Necessary Too!<\/b><\/p>\n Nevertheless, there\u2019s no replacement for human connections and friendships. \u00a0While hanging out with dogs may be a good stand-in for the day, there\u2019s no denying that friendships enrich your life and improve your health. \u00a0Good f<\/span>riends prevent loneliness, increase happiness and reduce stress<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0So, if your human pal if unavailable during your moment of loneliness, you may want to check out your nearest Biscuits & Bath!<\/span><\/p>\n Please, Can I Get a Puppy?
