Yes, our dog is one of my only sources of touch. She puts up with me most times, and instinctively comes to me when I'm upset. She's become my therapy dog.

Dogs are good people!
Our Puppy passed last year, and we still have an 11 year old cat, Bela Lugosi, who is also a good person.

@judimahoney I was just thinking the same about my pups this morning. I don’t know what I would do without them…. My Yorkie-Poo, Saban, is nearly 15, I believe he has some doggie dementia too. He and my husband are a lot alike in their ways😳 Our Labradoodle, Maggie, with her deep soulful eyes seems to truly understand what is going on in this house. She knows there have been changes especially with my husband. She always seems to know when he needs some extra love and attention, and she always knows when I need some extra love and encouragement. She is a certified therapy dog. I didn’t know when we went through her training that she would end up providing therapy for us. 😉
