My mom always tells my human brother and sister that "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," but you pets should know that just by existing we're doing our part to keep our humans healthy too!

New studies have shown that when baby humans grow up with lovable mutts (such as myself) it drastically reduces their chance of developing allergies later on in life. Apparently we provide the needed exposure to these little animals called germs that help in developing a healthy immune system. So make sure to look out for the health of your humans by licking and cuddling them often!
