The whole idea of "therapy animals" is goofy. Ok, if you're blind or disabled and need a guide dog, well fine.
But dragging a dog around with you everywhere you go, just because you got your feelings hurt? Man up and suck it in, snowflakes.
We must disagree we often do not disagree, but an animal can be of immense emotional comfort to various people, not only the sick but also people who are lonely and have no relatives near or have no relatives at all, literally in these cases an animal can keep them alive, give them something to keep on living for because they have something to care for who needs them and in return that animal gives them what they need comfort, companionship and unconditional love.
They have also proven invaluable to veterans suffering from PTSD.
Yes they have and also I add homeless people which is why many times people see the homeless and they have a dog as their only companion, although that's for a different thread, I do not want to derail Tommy's thread by me having a massive rant about how disgusting I think it is that in 2018 Western nations STILL have too many people living on the streets. WTF?! I'm sure any moment now JGalt could be calling me COMMUNIST or whatever
