A dog is not just your best friend but a good therapist as well

My pet, Khal Dogo—an Argentinian Mastiff—came home during the covid-19 pandemic. After almost a year of being stuck indoors, with our fitness levels seriously compromised, my husband and I decided to bring home a high-energy dog, who would compel us to get out and embark on long walks every day. Today, he not only pesters us to take him for walks daily without fail by nudging us with his nose repeatedly until we get out of bed, but he also works as an amazing therapist and healer. “Dogs are highly attuned to their pet parents’ feelings and health,” says psychologist Deepti Makhija. While on our walks, if a stranger suddenly comes out of a hidden place, Khal will stand in front of us, shielding us from the unknown danger.
