Iāve stopped trying to explain my service dog to people whoāve already decided I donāt need one.
They donāt see the nights he sat beside me when I couldnāt breathe.
They werenāt there when the world went silent, when I thought I was breaking.
But he was.
While others doubted, dismissed, and judged, he stayed.
Not out of obligation.
Out of love.
š Humans Asked Me to Justify My Pain.
He Just Saw It.
My dog never questioned whether I was “really disabled.”
He never rolled his eyes or demanded more proof.
He never suggested I try harder, be tougher, or stay quiet.
He didnāt call me difficult.
He didnāt sit in a board meeting and vote to make my life harder.
He just laid his head on my knee and reminded me:
āYouāre not alone.ā
š§ He Knows Before I Know
My panic attacks donāt come with a warning.
But somehow, he always knows.
Before the dizziness, before the tears, before the world goes sideways – he knows.
And when it happens, he does what no person in this building has ever done:
He stays close.
He helps me breathe.
He reminds me I am not weak. I am fighting.
š Heās Never Spoken a Word – But heās Said Everything I Needed to Hear
He doesnāt gossip.
He doesnāt accuse.
He doesnāt weaponize policies or play politics.
He just walks beside me. Steady. Unshaken. Unbothered by whispers and side-eyes.
And when I crumble – because yes, I do sometimes crumble – he leans in just enough for me to rise.
š¬ To Those Who Think heās a Disruption
You donāt see what I see.
You donāt know what heās done for me.
You only see a leash. I see survival.
You hear paws. I hear comfort.
You see a dog. I see the reason Iāve made it this far.
Heās not a pet. Heās not a prop.
Heās the quiet miracle that got me through what no one else could.
ā¤ļø He Is My Strength When the World Tries to Break Me
He saved me when no one else did.
When neighbours looked away, he looked up at me.
When people said I didnāt belong, he never left my side.
So yes – I trust him more than most humans.
Because he earned it.
Because he gave me back my life.
