(53,410 posts)A doberman and a female pit bull she had just rescued. It's amazing how much it hurts and enrages you when it's so close to you. She believes it was her room mate who the landlord rented the other room to who is a drunk and has been threatening enough to her that the doberman bit him when he physically pushed her. The doberman died but the pit bull didn't.
She has papers on the pit bull that classify it as a legal medical dog like the dogs for the blind. My co-worker suffers from depression and the dog is part of her treatment. Having the dog actually works better in many ways than it does to take medication. The dog is something she must care for and feed and walk and play with. It's a great way to stave off depression. Dogs simply won't let you not take care of them if you love them.
