I am a member on a forum that gives you advice regarding owning and caring for your pet dog.
A thread over there recently brought to light that a lot of people have been healed from owning their dog and the unconditional love they have received from them. They have also helped the owners learn how to trust and love again.
Some members there have been given new leases of life after suffering such traumas as rape, sexual and physical abuse, depression, death of a loved one etc etc. Their dogs have given their lives new meaning and hope for a better future.
I have always been a dog owner and currently own a beautiful 6 month old dog named Maya who is a total joy and i feel enhances my life and perspective.
It is a beautiful and rewarding experience sharing your life with a K9 friend and a bond is developed that to me is unique.
For me when I wake up in the morning or come home from a stressful day at work, Maya always makes me smile with her wagging tail and excitement of seeing me and i know i am a lot less tense with her around.
Do any of you share your life with a dog or animal that in some way has healed you or made your future seem brighter?
Or do you have your own take on the relationship between man and beast?

p.s. I don't really see myself as Maya's owner, i actually think that we share our lives, but typing own/owner is easier.
