You sound like my sort of person regarding your dog. I do think that a dog or a cat helps to keep us sane. We have friends from UK arriving on Sunday and they have the largest Newfoundland dog that you ever saw and he has his own sofa. They won't be bringing him with them of course but we have a wonderful photo of Moose sharing his sofa with my husband when we visited them in England. The dog helped to keep the 4 of us going all through a spell of Covid as we could still go out to walk him. this isn't about LPR but at least it is partially connected with health!

I have only met one Newfoundland dog… he was huge. He was a calm guy .. at the vet's office. Lot of animals that day in a small waiting room. He took up a good bit of the space.
I think pets no matter the species help us mentally and physically. They can help keep our stress levels down, help us to exercise .. which are important in managing GERDs and other afflictions we might have.
Ziggy came with my mom to live with us in 2018. In January if 2020 she had to go into a nursing home for rehab after a stroke. Once covid hit and we were not able to visit her nor get phone calls through to her often she went down hill. She had more strokes and the final one in August of 2020. When at our home Ziggy alerted me when something was wrong with mom or she fell. He was a comfort to her… a great companion.
Ziggy is now 12 1/2 years old and acts much younger. He is in good health. He is a mini-poodle. Photos attached of his before and after spa treatment in December. I think this summer my husband better schedule every six weeks instead of eight for the spa. My husband used to give Ziggy haircuts in-between spa days. His back is bothering him lately so he cannot do it. He does spoil Ziggy with a massage every morning. … ears, neck shoulders and back.
