Tip: Library to hold event on benefit of pets

We're all getting older, some of us seven years at a time.

Pets provide companionship and emotional benefits for their human friends, but taking care of an aging cat or dog can become difficult for seniors.

Huntington Public Library is presenting Caring 4 Pets on Tuesday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. At the free workshop, experts will discuss support services available for older pet owners, and how Fido and Tabby can actually be beneficial to your health.

Registration is required. Go to thehuntingtonlibrary.org or call 631-427-5165. The workshop will be in the library's main branch at 338 Main St.
