Studies show that having a pet of any kind is very good for you. Just petting soft fur can lower your blood pressure and give a better sense of well-being. A pet of any kind can teach responsibility to a child and give companionship to the elderly. Pets are cheaper and more effective than therapists and personal trainers (an overweight dog is a sign of an overweight owner). I am sure that all kinds of pets give the same kinds of benefits, however, here, we will talk about dogs in general and specifically keeshonden (the world's most perfect pet).
