My 2 dogs have honestly been life savers to me. They have made the difference of me coming home to a house of 4 last year to an empty house now. But I walk in the front door and they are there every night with unconditional love. I would recommend a pet to ANYONE who is in bereavement. They are such a huge comfort.

I've been horseback riding since I was young, and since I've been diagnosed with bipolar, it really helps me calm down.
