Back in 2016, while in the middle of a messy marriage breakup, I decided to get us a puppy. It was counterintuitive, and many people questioned my sanity - surely I had enough on my plate? Why add the stress of a baby dog to my to-do list?
But it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I went with my gut, and we never looked back.
Animals have such a therapeutic effect on people who are struggling with overwhelm or anxiety - there is nothing like doggy kisses and snuggles to lift a drooping spirit. Dogs are fantastic medicine for the soul.
So if one dog is good, surely two dogs are even better?
