The University of Leeds has conducted a study looking at the effects of watching videos of puppies and kittens on personal health.

The study observed the heart rate, anxiety and blood pressure of the participants go down, 30 minutes after they watched a video with different animals.

Dr. Andrea Utley, an associate professor at the University of Leeds has stated that she has been "quite pleasantly surprised that during the session, every single measure for every single participant dropped some".
