Pets are Therapy

My darling little dogs
I have always had animals in my life. They really are my "fur children!" The four significant human ones have all flown the coop but I have to say that the love and loyalty from my two mini smooth hair dachshunds is unrivalled in this household. They know no other behaviour (with us) other than to love and adore us. They can be noisy and appearing ferocious at times with strangers at the door but there is no malice behind that, it is just love and protection for us. We are the centre of their world and they ours. How would the world be if everyone was honoured in this way? I wish the privilege was everyones and then maybe there would be less mental illness and loneliness.
