Ater working 10 years for the airline industrey I started suffering from extreme anxiety and panic attacks.. I had on the average of 3 to 4 a week. I was unable to work during the attacks and could not function normally at home. The month following the onset of my attack I had gone to visit my son's family in Orlando. My son rescued this poor little dog from the freeway and been trying to find the owner.. he keep telling me mom you need to take him home with you. I explained I just could not since I already had a 10 year old rescue dog and 5 year old rescue Cat. When he arrived at their home he was infested with ticks and so very scared and sick. It took us over 2 hours to get 60 plus ticks off of him. I then bathed him and while I was drying him off and hugging on him I felt an amzaing clam over take me. I really can't explain it, I just was at peace when I held him. We tried for 2 weeks to find the owner with fliers and lost dog list on the web and newspaper with no luck. Still the whole my son trying to talk me into taking him home. After no luck in finding the owner we took him to the vet to be checked out. I was told he was about 11 months old. the did a health check and with cerifacate in had we decided to fly him home with us. He was Awsome for his frist flight in a kennel and under my seat. We named him toto since every time he was looking at the new yerd and the cat (who really did not want to share me) that he was not in Kansas any more. the most amazing thing was every time I held this little lost soul I would feel a calm come over me.. I just thought it was because he was so cute and wanted to be loved so bad. He now lives in Oregon with the other 2 rescue pets and my husband and myself. I have have NOT had any panic attacks or anxiety attacts since he has been in our life. and he travles every where I can take him as my support animal . I tell everyone we rescued each other ..
