Did you know that humans and other animals are hard-wired to respond to baby faces and features? It’s true! Researchers at Oxford University have documented it. The sight of an infant or baby animal cues your brain and causes good emotions within seconds. Call it the “warm fuzzies” syndrome, if you will. So when you go […]

The landlord of a […]
