Are dog people healthier?

I had a dog growing up but busy schedules and a lack of space have caused me to settle for a cat for companionship. Don't get me wrong -- Molly (a boy) is fun to play with and suitably snuggly when I need a warm furry hug, but I miss having a dog rush excitedly to the door when I come home, licking my face and making me realize that every day is a good day, even when I'm run down. Do you feel the same way?

Good news for dog people -- they might live longer lives, according to a study at Queen's University in Belfast. Apparently dog owners are generally healthier, both emotionally and physically. And while cats are nice to have around, they don't demand a much-needed walk every day.
