My dog has been my cuddle buddy and licks the tears off my face.

Animals know when you are happy or sad and they are always there to love you

My dog Buster helps me when I bring him for walks in the large park. At the walking track, young children and middle- aged alike stop and ask about my dog, a maltese. They sometimes pet him. Other times they send a smile to me, admiring my dog. This lifts my spirits, and I feel connected to others at the park. Buster loves me. This I know. He has the love of God in him. He is like a little child, or an angel. He is a very loving dog, greeting me morning evening, with happy smiles and love.

My Princess Lille, 1 year old has kept me together. I also have Toby 12 year Cocker and a 16 year old kitty Alieca. They need love and attention.

well i started walking dogs at the cat and dog shelter and then got my own dog and she is my only friend

Loved Lady & Bear, and Love Jack (My Cocker Spaniel)

My dogs help me a lot - they just sit there while I cry.

My best friend is my dog. She is a black lab named sadie. We play ball and go for the occasional walk.

I look at him and I get sad. It's like we were used.

answered prayer

She loves animals, having a pet and caring for it were major steps towards establishing independance and learning skills.

my friends (dogs) help me very much, in many ways... they are always happy to see me and never complain... :)

Always works. Cats are the comfort zone for me.

My Angel kitty loves me no matter what - what a balm to my soul!

works good
