Pets are a great way to help with various conditions.
Leo is already registered as an emotional support dog and we are in the process of looking into making him a service dog for both my physical and mental conditions.
Even without official training, he has already been helping!
When Annabelle cries (not from tantrums but other cries), he goes over to her trying to comfort her.
When I’ve had anxiety flare up more, he walks over and puts his head on my lap.
Yesterday, when pain and symptoms were really bad and I needed to get up and walk, he got up from his comfy spot and stayed next to me the entire time while I was walking. 😭😍
He is such an answered prayer!
Any Bay Area recs for service dog training welcomed!
Do you have an emotional support or service dog?
