Animals play an important role in human lives in several ways. They provide companionship as pets by greeting us happily and curling up with us, which can improve our mood. Pet animals are also used in rehabilitation settings by bringing joy and social interaction to nursing home residents. Having a pet also teaches children skills like caretaking, responsibility, and compassion. Throughout history, animals have assisted humans by working on farms and providing transportation. Today, some animals are still used for their livelihood, as a food source, or for sport and leisure activities. Overall, animals enhance human well-being in many aspects of our daily lives.
