The internet is #shookt when a subredditor that goes by the name of “Eyebleach” posted a photo of a Siberian Husky and a Labrador Retriever. It seems that assistant dogs aren’t just limited to be helping humans — they can also help their own species as well.

The uploaded photo showed that the Siberian Husky that is an assistant in the vet clinic mounts the patient’s bed and appears to be telling the patient Labrador Retriever that everything is going to be alright.

Netizens gave the upload 70,000 upvotes on Reddit. Since then, the photo has gone viral on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Even if the internet is a place with a lot of disturbing content, there are still lighthearted things going on and this photo is one of them.

Volunteer Is Happy To Help Difficult Animals

aa volunteer and cat

Annette Petersmeyer is a volunteer for Animal Allies – a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of homeless and abandoned animals. In her 9 years of volunteering, she learned many skills on how to handle an abused animal.

It gave her happiness to see the animals rescued turn down their aggression and fear and be loving pets for adoption. However, she does feel sad when the animals get adopted because of the bond she has built with the animals.

Annette started out as a cat buddy – playing and tidying with cats. Later, she moved on to be a dog walker and learned to handle dogs with higher levels of aggression and fear. In her life as a volunteer, she saw something in her that she did not have – leadership. It made her one of the organization’s hand-picked and experienced volunteers.

She says, “When you agree to be a higher-level volunteer, you’re aware of the risks, and you’re willing to take them. It’s usually not the animal’s fault; there’s something else affecting them.”

Animal-Assisted Therapies in Health Care Settings

animal assisted therapy

The use of pets as a stress-reducing treatment is gaining fame steadily. Canines are no longer limited to be in the service of the military, police or the disabled. They now help treat patients who are suffering from various emotional unrest in hospitals and beyond.

For example, children who feel anxious during dental visits can touch an assistance animal in the clinic. Patients suffering from dementia or soldiers with PTSD in hospitals can apply for an animal-assisted therapy program.

A 10-15 minute visit a day from a dog and its handler can improve a patient’s mental and emotional well-being. Sometimes pet therapy programs are held outside medical settings. Helping people or students from the communities and universities are such examples.

Man Has An Emotional Support Alligator To Help Him Deal With Depression

alligator esa

Joie Henney from Pennsylvania suffers from depression following the death of his three close friends. While people with mental health problems turn to medication and self-help, Joie claims to use an emotional support alligator. The five-foot-long alligator is named Wally and was approved by Joie’s doctors. Wally was rescued from Orlando when he was still 14 months old. Now, he’s 4 years old.

Despite being an emotional support animal, Joie knows that Wally can inflict harm at any moment because he’s a wild animal. For now, Joie describes the animal like a big teddy bear who likes to snuggle and give him hugs.

More College Students Bring Emotional Support Animals To Campus

college esas

In the past, students who lived in college dormitories used to leave their pets at home. Now, we can see that more and more students request to have their cat or dog accompany them to campus, and these animals are labeled “emotional support animals.” ESAs are known to provide therapeutic benefits to their owners suffering from an emotional disability such as anxiety or depression.

Administrators at Temple University say that the number of requests for emotional support animals increased from 6 requests to 20 requests in one year. While there is the likelihood of fraud behind these requests, still, college administrators have a hard time denying these requests because they’re for mental health.

Dog Takes Its Job As An Emotional Support Animal Seriously

alaskan malamute

A large Alaskan Malamute was photographed on a China Southern Airlines flight. The dog is an emotional support animal and was allowed to accompany its owner. It was given its own seat free of charge.

As you can see from the snapshot above, the emotional support dog showed his best behavior on the flight. It sat quietly, and this garnered praise from social media users who made the dog’s photo go viral. A person even commented, “Compared with annoying kids who keeps kicking other people’s seats or old people who talk loudly, I’d rather sit with a service dog!”

It’s not uncommon to hear stories about emotional support animals getting denied. For example, the emotional support peacock at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Another is about a 21-year old student who flushed her dwarf hamster because the airline didn’t allow the animal.

Question: How do you respond to someone who questions your disability?

Answer: Here’s an example of an answer you can give: “Not all disabilities are obvious to others. I am a veteran suffering from PTSD and my Service Animal is trained to provide a physical buffer between me and other people in crowded situations which trigger my symptoms. Under the ADA, I’m allowed to take him with me anywhere I go, so please let me be on my way and I thank you for your cooperation.”
