Wow! I feel as though my mind is expanding faster than I can assimilate your information. I’m a civilian who has PTSD and anxiety disorder. You described it perfectly. Finally someone who completely, 100% gets it. Ty. My husband tries to help when he’s around and my anxiety completely swamps me. However since he doesn’t suffer from anxiety, his suggestions irritate me. The worst ones are: just stop being anxious, get over it, move on or deal with it. All things that make me want to scream “are you kidding me? Like I hadn’t already thought of those things? Don’t you think if I could I would’ve for the past 50 years?” I don’t scream those thoughts at him bc I know he’s genuinely trying to help me but it’s frustrating. My service dog Ella died October 15, 2018 and since then I’ve been lost. Fortunately that’s one thing my husband CAN relate to. He still cries about losing her from time to time but he doesn’t feel the dread that I do about trying to decide if I can make it through a public trip. I’ve been hiding at home more since she died. Ty for the work you’re doing. The world needs more understanding of the animal-human bond. God bless you. 🙌🏻👏🏻🤗
My three dogs are just the same as my children. I love them and I will be their daddy. I treat them lovingly but I also educate them. I think we are a good family and have a good time.
Thanks so much for this! Your plain-speaking, articulate, clear-minded message comes through so clearly - and many of us can relate to on so many levels. What a breadth of people you have touched!
Im so happy to hear you speak and bring up this issue. Absused pit bulls are a tragedy becauee they are the most loving and caring dogs. They dont deserve to be tortured and then disposed of because of human cruelty and stupidity. Thank you and i wish you all the best.
We got a rescue dog. Had her shipped over from Greece as she was gonna be put down. She was a total nightmare whenever outside the house and had to be kept away from people and other dogs. A lot of gentle care and much effort on our part in learning how to communicate with her and we now have, 3.5 years later, a calm and happy and stable dog - unless you are a delivery man, that is 🙂🇬🇧
Thank you so very much for sharing a small part about your culture. I hope that your visit to countries around the world will open the eyes of people who visit your country and will help to encourage them to learn and to work with you to save your land and your culture, and that they will assist to respect and help to save and respect your culture and your lands.
Bravo to you and your work, and truly understanding these Wonderful creatures! I’ve rescued abused Pits, others said should be euthanized, never had to use anything but exercise, respect, and patience to bring them back.... The Love that is reciprocated in Beautiful. Thank you for sharing, and I can only hope the lady who had a Ted talk listens and learns from you! Her talk was Horrible for me to listen to 😡

Really enjoyable talk .
Truly ,in a mutually respectful relationship a dog can be man's best friend & vice versa. Understanding is the key.
This is the best thing I ever watched
Thank you for this Ted Talk. What a good future for human-canine healing. Appreciate your creating a path for human-canine assisted therapies!
Anthony, this is the third time I have watch this and want you to know how good it is. Thanks for this. sharon fricke
I love this talk and I love this therapy model.

I really appreciated your Ted talk and I am glad for the work you are doing.

You are Totally Kewl.....I have Great Respect for U.....Helping well deserved Vetereans....and these Poor Abused Dogs.....God Bles You.....🐕🇱🇷
This was amazing
Is it wrong, that I would willingly die if it was to protect my dog? I love my dog's so very much :(
I'm always between my dogs and danger of any kind. Can't even imagine subjecting them to danger in order to save myself.
C
If I could take 10 years off my life & give it to my dog, I would.
Your dog probably added 10 years to your life.
What a lovely thought hope you both get very old together 🌸
