Since I have anxiety and other mental health problems my dog usually helps me through times when I have panic attacks or if I'm just having a really bad day.
My dog Ruby comforted me all those miserable days, from her cuddling me to try to bring me fruit off the counter to try and feed me because I wouldn't eat, to her letting me cry on her side.
Petting her calms me down, and just knowing there’s nothing but pure intentions from her part makes me happy.
