Dogs provide loyal companionship, which can help combat loneliness and depression in older adults. Also, owning a pet can motivate a person to get outside and exercise and even socialize more with other pet owners.

The speaker claims that owning a pet has many health benefits for both children and adults, such as reducing the number of doctor visits for pet owners over age 65 and helping combat loneliness and depression in older adults. The speaker does provide relevant evidence to support this claim, such as the statistic about pet owners making fewer trips to the doctor. However, the speaker could strengthen their argument by providing more specific examples or studies to further support the claim.
