Labrador Retrievers For Sale in Pawtucket, R.I.

According to registration statistics recently released by the American Kennel Club® (AKC), the Labrador Retriever is the second most popular purebred dog in the Providence, RI area.

The Labrador Retriever is the most popular dog in America for the 21st straight year. More than twice as many Labs were registered than any other breed making it a likely leader for many years to come.

In a recent article, a licensed professional counselor for more than twenty-five years, explained how owning a Lab can help produce healthier, happier, more well adjusted children. Here is an excerpt from her article:

Dogs are better than popping pills or drinking elixers.

Not only does being around the family dog help your child’s mood, dogs are great for children’s health.  Children with dogs for pets have been found to have lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, and fewer overall physical complaints than those without dogs.  In fact, there are several diseases where dogs have been used to help those who have the disease.  Two of these are: rheumatoid arthritis and emotional disturbance stemming from cases of severe abuse. “People have always loved their dogs, but now we’re discovering specific ways to harness the benefits…in psychotherapy,’’ said Dr. Samuel B. Ross, executive director of Green Chimneys Children’s Services in Brewster, NY, where special dogs are used in treating emotionally disturbed children.
