The importance of the role of a companion animal in a human's life is very important. Some of the pets that we have to join us in our daily activity. According to studies, pets can prolong a person's life. Cases of depression and even  heart attack  have been lower for persons  with pets. In the U.S alone, there are thousands of homeless and neglected pets in animal shelters . Because of death or disability, some of the owners cannot take care of them landing them in shelters all over the nation. In extreme cases some companion animals suffer extreme cruelty in dog fighting operations and in puppy mills. The Humane Society of the United States under the leadership of its President and CEO, Wayne Pacelle, is working tirelessly to confront and end this type of suffering.
