Thanking for sharing your answer.
I know there are a lot of pet lovers in the world. Just wondering if the percentage is higher for people with depression. I find peace when it comes to my furkids and of course very therapeutic. If I didn't have a dog, I would not walk or hike. I would not get out to interact with others if I did not take my dog to the leash free dog park.
Yes, absolutely! My fur kids give me so much comfort. I couldn't get thru this life without them. The funny thing is they found me, and by doing do we saved each other!! Please go to your local shelter, you won't regret it!!
I have 3 fur kids. I rescued them, and they rescued me! They have seen me through the hard times, and gotten me through some long dark nights. I adore them. I couldn't imagine a life with out them!
I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and a snake . They are a great reason to get up everyday and keep trying
Yes. I have 2 dogs, a pug and an airedale terrier/cattle dog mix. I find they are hugely therapeutic for me. Especially the pug because we go for walks and he always knows when I'm sad/will be there for me. The other has great energy and is such a sweetheart. They've kept me from loneliness many times.
even though we find relife in all animals, and theres something to say about them, they kiss us when were sad hug us when we need to be huged, what ever animal.critter find you happiness then it works, i have a black lab chow i have had her now 2 + years and have had her since six weeks old she is now 2 yrs and she helps in everything i do see Una is a service dog, she was never trained to be a service dog till one day i had a seizure and she came to my rescuse at that point i knew and so did she know we were to be together, even though shes my service animal she is also my emotional suport dog too, she brings joy into my life for the last 2 yrs now, when my partner passed away in Jan 2017 i recived the call and she new it right away before the words were spoken and made sure i was ok all night long, i have had a couple really bad seizures and all my friends will say that she loves you so much, that Una will not leave my side after a seizure she lays her head on my lap and looks at me no matter how tired she is, she will not go to the bathroom, eat, or drink till i wake up she cry of joy lots oh kisses, i and only i will give her her seizure treat, and she goes wild knowing im ok, she knows when shes working and when her vest is off she 2 different dogs, now not all animals are the same i like to think i got lucky with Una,
i was told one day that dogs were put on this earth to care for us and when there done taking care of us god takes them away for someone eles
