OK so, your dog might not literally, technically, be an "ESA" but really cmon your dog kinda is. I mean, like obviously our dogs emotionally support us, in many ways. So, def they qualify as an Animal that Emotionally Supports us. Anyways, without our dog, I'm pretty sure I would have flipped the $h*t five hundred times last year. Thank goodness for our Emotional Support Animals. :D
