If you have a service, working, therapy, or emotional support animal, what was your experience getting him/her?

I'm hoping so. Need more space.
This is Deja Blue, Service Dog (cardiac alerts, PTSD, non traditional mobility). I've been an international service dog advocate and owner trainer for well over a decade. I recently lost my SD Tao Blue after an 11year partnership on 5/24/24. My very first SD passed in 2012.
Every one of them has literally saved my life at different points, from restarting breathing to a heart attack alert/response, etc.
I can only ascribe to being the person my dogs think I am !
Peace

, what a beauty! And from the pose, and the long associations and loyal service, I would say chances are good to great that you are who they think you are ā¤ļø- Warmly, Donna (Team Member)
Lady (right) has recently undergone eye surgery. She's currently stuck in a cone and very grumpy. I, however, am just thrilled she came through it and is healing well! She is old and has a heart murmur, so I didn't want her under GA, but I didn't have much choice.
I can say with complete honesty, even after going through multiple surgeries myself, I'd rather it was me than her!
, both of your companions are beautiful! Lady looks very calm, and the one on the left looks just a tad sassy! I completely understand the sentiment - they are like our babies and we don't want them to struggle with anything. I hope everything goes well with her recovery. - Warmly, Donna (Social Health Network Team Member)
Love how my GodDog makes me feel - when he jumps up and breathes near me it is so soothing.
, he is ADORABLE! He looks like he has Zen vibes to spare! Thank you for sharing him with us. - Warmly, Donna (Social Health Network Team Member)
