After going through the study I've come to realize how easily the things around us can keep us happy. The endorphins released from being with a puppy feels much better than the ones the pill artificially implies. I now know how easily happiness can come and will recommend this treatment to any person I know." -Experimental unit 235]]> 2017-11-13 20:00:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tmban077/ytj386lii5ot/wish/206464941 tmban077 https://padlet.com/tmban077/ytj386lii5ot/wish/206466156 Our results were published in a psychologist journal. Most of the participants continued the treatment on their oenophile after buying a puppy for themselves. This helped with the amount of puppies in animal rescues and many children and teens with depression.
