"Many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, congestive heart failure or kidney failure. The only way to tell if you have high blood pressure is to have your blood pressure checked. According to recent estimates, one in four U.S. adults has high blood pressure, but because there are no symptoms, nearly one-third of these people don't even know they have it. This is why high blood pressure is often called the "silent killer." Get the facts on high blood pressure and how to live a more heart-healthy life. Find out how you can reduce your risks for heart attack and stroke with proper monitoring by a physician and simple lifestyle changes, even if you have high blood pressure." Quoted from the American Heart Association Website.
If you have high blood pressure, you should consider having a pet, such as a dog, or a cat. Some psychologists feel that having a pet can help lower blood pressure. In a study at the State University of New York at Buffalo, it was found that stockbrokers who suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure), could adopt a cat or a dog to lower their blood pressure. Doctors found that stress-induced blood pressure continued to rise in brokers with NO pets, even when they were treated with medication to lower their blood pressure. The brokers with pets also had a rise in blood pressure, but by not as much as the brokers without pets. Based on this study, researchers conclude that drugs do help lower blood pressure but having a pet helps in keeping stress-related increases in blood pressure in check. Some of the participants in the study went out and got a pet after they learned of the benefits. No one is really sure why this is true. Perhaps having someone you can count on by your side provides stress relief for those in stressful professions.
These dogs have cheated death and been given a second chance at life. Kind-hearted people have rescued them from the streets; abandoned, straying . . . .Had they not helped these dogs, the dogs may not have lasted long wandering aimlessly, roaming for days on end, scavenging for food, avoiding traffic. Would you consider adopting them and giving them a home that they deserve?

Look where Baby Chocolate was found! He was less than a month old when volunteers found him, eyes hardly opened. Had we not scooped him for the jaws of death, he would not have had the opportunity to grow up looking this cute! Chocolate grew up playing with kittens so its fine if you have cats in your home. Chocolate is intelligent and a fast learner. Now, all of 3 mths, he knows his basic commands and is paper trained.

This little black Bear was found playing on the streets in a Tuas industrial estate, without a care in the world. Not having a home was the least of her worries. She spent her days playing with foreign workers in various factories, until she met Mr Sharpei. Bear would be an excellent dog for Agility - she is agile, intelligent and loves zooming around the garden. She also loves water!
