Mia helps me in so many ways. She’s a small pup with LOTS of energy. This forces me to be active. We walk about 1.5 – 2 miles each day. She’s taught me patience. She’s also been a big help with my anxiety. I swear she knows when I’m going through something, because she will cuddle right up in my chest and just lay there until I calm down. Sometimes it also helps to have a heart-to-heart with my pup!"
