Short story about how the animal has changed the owner's life for the better
Abby is the sweetest girl. She has been incredible for my mental health - she always seems to know when I’m sad and need emotional support, and having her forces me to go outside and go for walks which always makes me feel better. Everywhere we go she makes friends, and all of our neighbors know and love her. She is a creature of habit which helps me stay in a routine and maintain structure in my day. She’s been my absolute best friend for 12 years now and I can’t imagine life without her!
