Welcome back to other people's lives. Welcome back. Welcome back. Yes. Today I'm very excited for

our episode because it features my favorite animal, a human, the dog. Oh yeah, the dog. The dog.

Humans my favorite animal. No one says that. It's because it's a stupid answer. I'm kidding. I'm actually,

I love dogs. I know you're a big dog person. Huge dog guy. And my fiance is going to be lucky if I

don't come home after recording this with an adopted dog. Because like talking about dogs,

looking at pictures of dogs, being around other dogs, but it just gets me so in the mood to want

to own my own dog. Did like the first week I had my dog, I was just burst into tears like randomly.

So funny you say that when we got this email, which we got this email from a woman who uses a service

dog. Let's just say this email came with some pictures attached to it. And I almost lost it.

Yeah, I can see the pictures of the dog and the dog is like I and we'll share some of these

pictures on the Instagram at opl podcast for for this episode. And we got permission to do that. But

I mean, it's like you know like household dogs and pets and the relationship and the bond that

you can have. But even just seeing this picture and I don't even know the story yet. But seeing this

woman with this dog that clearly is doing more than just being a pet for her. This is a service

dog. It's an emotional support animal. It is there to basically help her and be with her at all

times. You know, especially especially through battling severe anxiety and depression. And oh man,

stop. Why are you scrolling through these pictures? I mean, I haven't seen these pictures.

Now it really, it really hits a sensitive spot, especially if you like dogs. So we'll definitely

share that on the Instagram. But I'm excited. I don't know much about service dogs. I've seen

some service dogs out there. But I just came back from Disney and there's like a whole bunch of

service dogs down there, which I did not plan about. I'm all about the dogs. I'm like, hey, I mean,

it's a little it sucks because you can't pet them, which is going to be one of my main questions here.
