Cute and cuddly
Sense of touch can stimulate a positive response. I feel happy when I touch soft pets like dogs and animals. It also feels comforting.

Funny

Companionship
Just as human friendships can be rewarding, so can having pets. True, they cannot speak, but it is nice to see them wag their tails when you are home. You can also build a relationship with them through training and doing activities together.

Gives you exercise
Especially if your pet is a dog, it is a must to take your dog for a walk. It is easier to exercise and more fun when you have a pet companion.

A talking subject
Socializing is an important part of being young. In having pets, you will have lots to talk about. You can also join groups or meet other people with pets.
I just discovered that the Ririan Project wrote a great blog about the same subject.
