But there’s more. Did you know that looking at pictures of cute animals can be healthy? Check this out:

When people watched 10 minutes of animal footage, their heart rate and blood pressure dipped not only while they were under stress, but it stayed lower even afterward. It didn’t matter whether the animal was scaly, feathered or furry. Even better, the sound doesn’t have to be on to reap the calming benefits, so you can sneak a peek at the latest panda/polar bear/Labrador retriever clips before your next tension-filled meeting, and your officemates will never know.

Hey! I’m a retriever! Maybe not the Labrador kind, but… I retrieve things! Really! I swear!

Anyway, so if you’re sitting at work and you’re not feeling so hot about things, just visit my photo galleries and if your boss says something, just point him or her to that article and go back to watching my antics.
