I\u2019ve featured dogs, more dogs <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.tops.org\/wellness-wednesday\/goat-yoga-and-nature\/\">and even goats<\/a>. 2020 has given me a deeper appreciation for my pets and all of the comfort they bring, even in the toughest of times. Research finds that four-legged friends can lower levels of cortisol (the \u201cstress hormone\u201d) as well as ease feelings of depression and loneliness. When we checked in with TOPS members to see how pets are helping them cope during the pandemic, we were delighted by the responses (and the photos, of course).
