  Well it’s sky so I’m not going to disagree with the intent.

  But it’s very open to interpretation. Many right wing readers may interpret it that way. But the tittle just questions the cost. Reading the article it seems more like a warning.

  “For elderly females that dogs may be a bad pet for them and the NHS.”

  I worry more that it makes no effort to compare the huge cost saving regular walking of dogs has on elderly heart and muscle health. And companionship has on mental health.

  But that’s less click baity. And really clicks is all they care about.
