Dogs and the therapy of creating a non-stress enviornment

Here is a picture of me, my Mom and my Cousin's dog at a lake on a boat we visited. As you can tell; my face lights up having a dog around.

I have grown up around boats all my life because two of my uncles and my grandparents own/have owned them. I love going out on Lake on a boar. Sometimes; it is great to have a dog with me; as I realized that my stress and anxiety is not when I am on the water. It is a peaceful location. Therefore; my cousin's dog on the boat was just great comfort to have along because I love dogs.
