My dog, Buddy, seems to be a great relief for me. I can come home and play with him and he is a snuggle pup..So he snuggles with me, and he doesnt ask for much in return.

I have my new Malamute King, whom I adopted 2 months after my husband left me, and I adore King. I walk him for two miles every day (at least), and we both benefit from the exercise and outdoor time!

My other dog Sam helps too, and my 3 cats.

I was strictly a dog person before I met him but he had just adopted a kitten when we met and my childhood dog had just died. The playing with the cat actually helped me relax and get over my social anxiety enough to get to know my future husband so he let me pick out another cat but she recently was killed last month. Everyone keeps telling me it was coyotes but I know it was a person.
