Laughter, positivity and happiness are known to activate healing mechanisms (in people). For pets, this happy state is either natural or easy to promote possibly because they don't carry the same emotional baggage that we do.

Our being happy and positive may not be so easy to learn, but laughter (even without something funny) can be learned. Dr. Madan Kataria (the "giggling guru") has focused his medical practice and life on this. His Laughter Yoga to speed healing is now being taught in hospitals all over the world including Memorial Sloan Kettering in NY. He calls it "unconditional laughter".



Our dogs and cats may not laugh the way we do, but it's easy to promote the same state of happiness for them. Laughter does the same thing for us, even when there's nothing we can get happy about.

Here's some more info:
