“It’s well known that as we get older we tend to seek out a calmer life with simple pleasures, like enjoying the company of a four-legged friend in the countryside,” says Lottie’s team. “Our study found that small dogs are preferred over large breeds.”
In addition to dogs, other animals that are great for future living include indoor birds, guinea pigs, hamsters, rabbits, fish, domestic fowl and turtles – thanks to their easy-going nature.
