Despite my panic attack I had today, I really find dogs to be incredibly calming and heartwarming. Doesn't matter, it could be a video of adorable puppies playing, it could be seeing a dog excel in agility sports, how to train specific breeds of dog, or seeing a dog that's had a rough life be rehabilitated and finding a loving home.
I think it might be due to the fact that I find dogs to embody the things I value most: honesty, trust, and love. A dog cannot lie about their intentions, a dog is a
literal embodiment of trust, and no love is as unconditional as the love from a dog.
I love all dogs I've found.
Now, I find cats to be incredibly calming too, but not as calming as dogs. So sorry cat lovers, I have less anxiety overall around dogs.
