Little did I realize that when Lulu first came into my life she would wind up being great therapy for me. Since she pranced her way into my heart I have noticed that I laugh more, worry less, and generally view things in a much more positive light. I have suffered for years from PTSD, and when I happen to awaken from an extremely terrible nightmare, Lulu is right there licking my face as if to calm me down. It is almost as if she possesses a sixth sense for when I am not feeling well, or am feeling extremely stressed. When the emotional pain from the PTSD threatens to reach an unbearable level, Lulu is always right there by my side to distract me from my scary thoughts. It is my opinion that pugs can be terrific therapy dogs simply due to their seeming sensitivity to their owners states of mind. Have any of you pug-people noticed this as well?
