Dogs provide a handful of emotional support to humans. They can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. They can also ease loneliness and encourage playfulness.

They could even improve your cardiovascular health.

Emotional support dogs are those that provide comfort for individuals suffering from mental and emotional conditions.

People with bipolar disorder, mood disorder, panic attacks, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other disabilities.

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) allows dogs on airplanes when individuals are travelling; but a written note form the doctor of mental health professional is required by the airlines. The dog must also be trained professionally to behave appropriately in a public setting.
