Organisations such as this clearly show that having a dog can open up a vast world for elderly people. It encourages them to become part of organisations, such as Petsfortheelderly. This not only helps them feel involved in a community, but also gives them vital information and support about the actual ownership of a dog. It is clear that newsletters on dog ownership sent out by this website, keep elderly people feeling responsible for their pets. This responsibility is crucial, when you consider that many elderly people miss the feeling of someone depending on them, as now they are mostly dependant on other people. This responsibility gives the elderly community pride, as well as boosting their self-esteem.
