student: so what’s it like having your fiancé so far away?
me: it sucks.
student:…..oh…well….do you have any pets?fml
Well Leah, your student is on to something! People who have significant others tend to live longer as do people who own pets! TWO FOR TWO! Also, oxytocin is released upon an elongated contact (cuddling) with a pet; not as much is released as cuddling with a human though.
