Dogs are more than just pets to us. Many times, they can play the role of friends. For children, dogs can also be their good playmates. Not only that, in the process of getting along with dogs day and night, children can also find many good qualities from dogs, which will be infected and have a positive impact, which will also be of great help to dogs' psychology.

Nowadays, many only children tend to be self-centered, unable to communicate and share with others, with poor hands-on ability, lack of sense of responsibility and strong dependence when growing up. At this time, maybe you can consider choosing a pet for your child, which will make the pet child a good companion for spiritual growth. In a recent study published by the School of Psychology of Beijing Normal University, experts mentioned that children with dogs at home feel less lonely, have a stronger tendency to share and are more willing to take care of young children. Experts believe that companion animals have the function of playing some human roles to a certain extent and are good companions for children's spiritual growth.

Experts suggest that for families that keep companion animals, parents should consciously use their children's nature of being close to nature and animals, and effectively educate their children through animals. In the process of raising companion animals, they should not be blindly responsible for their children, but subtly educate their children's responsibility and independence.

It can be seen that dogs can play many benign roles in children's growth. They can not only let children know how to take care of others, but also let children learn tolerance and forbearance. Moreover, some children with more withdrawn personalities can be greatly improved after raising dogs.
