When I got my dog a Cock A Poo I had him trained to be a therapy dog. He was so beautiful I thought he could be a great reduction of stressors for others.

Then I had 5 shocks of my AICD/Pacemaker in a 24 hour period. That and having a anxiety/panic attack after the last one I got severe PTSD and also diagnosed with anxiety/panic disorder. My dog became so much more loving and wanting to be with my. I could only guess he could sense my stress. His love and companions ship help me progress much more than the medications and psychiatry counseling.

My psychiatric specialist provided documentation so that I could register my dog as a PTSD Service Dog. That way I can bring him with me. I can honestly say many many time his presence and behavior toward me takes me out of the pain and worry to being with him on real time basis.

I have improved dramatically with less and less medications. When I start to feel those same PTSD feelings he knows somehow and comes to me. I have grown to love this dog not only because of my PTSD but that a non human being could bring so much love to a human being. He is my best friend but he competes with that with my wife on that who also has a anxiety panic disorder. So the poor guy has a double wammy dealing with his humans.
