Thanks for your article! It's an interesting read. We do need pets, and people with emotional support animals know it as nobody else does. Tbh, I used to have an ESA. It was a dog. I had a serious anxiety issue because of my brother's death. And you know I'm lucky to have a great wife, who found me Nancy (the dog's name). You know, psychologists say it usually takes 2 years to recover after your relative's death. It took me less than a year, and all because of Nancy and my wife. I'm so grateful for their help. Btw, has anybody had an ESA here? What is your story?
