Emotional support animals

thinkxingu · 10-28-2019, 04:12 PM

I met someone not long ago who had a Chihuahua as an anxiety animal. He was a firefighter who got trapped in a burning building--though he made it out, a couple friends didn't. The dog, though not an advanced/trained service animal, helps keep his PTSD/anxiety symptoms at bay.

Given that he's way braver than I'll ever be, I was glad to see he had found something to help him live his life.

My guess is that his candidness was a result of people judging whether he needed it or not.
