“A Furry Master Teacher”
We consider pets part of our Dear Family. This is a story about how a family dog became the ultimate therapist, the wisest master-teacher, and the best birthday present I thought I never wanted.
I’m doing something different this episode by sharing the very first essay I ever published publicly. A year and a quarter later I’m still walking down the path of finding love, healing, connection, and good mental health by sharing inspirational and touching stories.
With a family history of severe mental illness, I know anxiety and depression could creep into my or my daughters’ lives at any moment. A family dog is some of the best therapy around because our furry friends help us be in the moment, slow down, smile, connect with nature, and find unconditional love.
Make sure to listen to the end to hear the addendum, the update that I hope will continue to inspire and move you, as our beloved furry master teachers do.
