Dogs are the best therapy.

Therapy is such an important tool for the human soul. Many people go to therapy for many reasons - to solve an emotional tangle, to dig into their past, or to better themselves. It's a complicated and individual process each person should definitely go through in the way that best suits them. Some people might want to go for the long run, visiting the same therapist for literally years. Other people might opt for a short-term process that's more goal-specific. All these options stand before anyone who wants to start something like this, but for us, therapy is dogs.

We don't claim that dogs are a replacement for a therapy session, but that dogs can truly be soul healers for people who need it - in a way only dogs can offer. Think about it like this - dogs are more than willing to just sit there and listen to us. Unlike a therapist, they might have zero clue what we're talking about, but they definitely enjoy the company. And besides, it's always good to let out the words of the load we feel - it always feels good. Also, they say a hug is therapy in and of itself (and a long hug releases all that good serotonin in your brain) - and you can't hug your human therapist. But a dog? All dogs are good huggers.

So when we say that our therapy is a dog, we mean that a dog, just by being the good boy or girl that they are, elevates our souls to heights. Dogs make us feel better, they make us laugh and smile, and they love us unconditionally to the point we feel hugged in our souls. Dogs are a prime source of happiness, and that is truly soul-healing.

  • Now, when it comes to dog memes, the story is different but similar - you might not be able to hug a meme like you would a dog, but you can enjoy the doggo joy that comes with scrolling through some internet canine content. And if you do it while also hugging your actual dog? That's perfection.
