Stress can be experienced by anyone and occurs in everyday life, stress emphasizes experiences that occur when individuals perceive or evaluate the experience as a threat or potential danger and the resources they have are inadequate to overcome it. Individuals will look for ways or use the resources they have in an effort to reduce stress, one of which is keeping a pet or bonding with pets.
