Dark Side of the Horse by Samson for October 15, 2018

I wonder what the heart rate was for that woman who took a flight with her emotional support squirrel.

Snakes shouldn’t be included in the disclaimer. When you pet your python, it pets you back. … On second thought, keep them in.

That could still lower your heart rate…to zero

Hornets are pretty harmless as long as they don’t think you’re threatening their nest.

There’s always a disclaimer these days…….it’s enough to raise yours blood pressure.

May I pet you, Horace?

Petting an animal can also reduce stress.

In this day and age, I can well imagine someone trying to pet “dangerous, poisonous or harmful animals.”

But having your foot stepped on by a horse can ‘increase’ your heart rate.

Another animal to avoid is a bear. They may look cuddly, but…

But, them knocking over the kitchen trash can that contained coffee grounds, and chicken bones; dragging it all through the house you had just cleaned, can raise it.

I am a firm believer in petting my dog as often as possible.

At least this comic doesn’t contain peanuts!
