Do you know anybody with an emotional support dog?

[Dexterity]

I know it's weak and pathetic and pussy to be human and have severe anxiety/abandonment issues

But I wonder if I'd qualify for an ESA.

What makes it an emotional support dog exactly?

You just have to call it that? Or is there official paperwork?

Also im not claiming to know all the reasons people get one, but at least 50% of the reason should be because you really want a dog because you love dogs and are aware of all that entails in giving a dog a good life.

In my city too many assholes get pets simply because theyre bored one day

Do it Dex, dogs are healers

I think it varies country by country, state by state, province to province. I think ESA are different than Service Animals, the latter not needing to be officially trained

I do think you need to be diagnosed officially by a doctor though

Go for it.

You guys ever heard of that one lady that tried to take her emotional support peacock on American Airlines?

Ahh i looked it up for canada, it has to be approved by a qualified mental health professional. And they have to do the paperwork for you before you can register an animal as a esd

It’s a great excuse to bring Fido to Home Depot or Bed Bath and Beyond

Go for it

You think you have abandonment issues now? Wait until you invest in a dog, take them out several times a day and feed them, invest your time and energy, and give your all to this dog — only for it to cozy up and love everyone else in your life more than you because your energy is fucked up. That would suck.

Get a pot belly pig bro. If it fucks you over, eat him, that way he can never leave you again.
