Dog Persuasive Speech
Pinecrest Estates is an amazing place to live. It is close to shopping centers, has beautiful woods surrounding it, and has many job opportunities around it.
But there is one thing we can do to make this place even better, allow dogs.
Since I have lived here, I have always wanted a dog, yet they are not allowed, but I am here to tell you the possible problems you are basing your ban off of, are strongly outweighed by the positive benefits of having a dog.
Dogs make people happier, dog owners are less likely to suffer from depression than people who do not own dogs. Playing with a dog increases serotonin and dopamine levels, which calm and relax. Caring for a dog will make you feel needed, and add structure to your day. No matter how much you don’t want to get out of bed, who else will feed your dog, take it on walks? …show more content…
“A 2009 study by Miho Nagasawa of Azabu University in Japan found that one's level of oxytocin (the neurohormone that elicits feelings of happiness) raised intensely after interacting with their dogs.
And the only interaction they needed was to stare into their dog's eyes.Fun fact: A dog's willingness to meet eyes with humans is one of the things that separates them from wolves.”
Dogs make people more social. Taking your dog out on a walk, and to dog parks will put the owners into a social situation, and help people make friends. People are more likely to come and talk to you if you have a dog at your side. My father was talking about this yesterday, how if he had a dog then he would get out of the house more often and talk to other dog owners,
Dogs help people live healthier lives. By going out and giving a dog a walk, you’re also getting a walk, getting exercise every day. Even though we are advised to get 60 minutes a day of exercise, most people find sitting on a couch and keeping up with the kardashians more enticing. Dog owners have lower levels of triglyceride and cholesterol, indicators of heart disease than people who do
not.
I believe that dogs would improve all of our lives here in pinecrest estates, and I hope that you will too.
