A Hug a Day
A HUG A DAY !
Science has discovered that touching releases a hormone in both human and animal bodies called oxytocin. Oxytocin is a chemical that is able to erase FEAR from the amygdale of the brain. It also produces feelings of trust and bonding … enhancing the levels of (dopamine?) in the brain.
So this means that me and my horses oughta be really bonding for all the hugs and scritches we get every day, right?
Here's pony hugs and slobbers to you, too! :)
