If there is one good thing of having a pet for companionship for a senior citizen who is retired from their former line of work, it is that the pet gives the retired person one way to beat the lonely blues. Charlie Hane who lives in Topeka Kansas who is currently working as volunteer at a humane society three times a week has found that his dog Maddie is useful to keep him company. Charlie mentions that since a lot of people feel sad after they leave the workplace since they have no hobbies to occupy their time. In his case having the company of Maddie gives him happiness since he has to walk his dog and make sure that his dog has a nice place to stay in his home. The best part is when Charlie takes his dog for a walk in a city park where he can meet with other people who have dogs of their own where he can chat with them during his stay at the city park.

Dogs are the best; and they are especially good for seniors. I know because we miss ours terribly.

I know how you feel losing a pet. The best way I look at the passing of a pet is to act like their are in your life in spirit.

Pets are certainly good for older people. It gives them a reason to get up and taking a dog for a walk is good exercise for an older person too.

That is the good thing of having a pet for a senior citizen that I remember from a sitcom many years ago on television.
