“We got her as a gift for my grandparents because they lost their dog in February. We kept her for a couple months and trained her and then took her to my grandparents house around June. She was a great friend and company during the quarantine, and gave us something to do and look forward to.”
“So back at the end of February 2020 my older sister and my parents told us they were getting a dog, an aussie doodle named Oliver. He was going to be our family dog and my older sister’s emotional support animal. We ended up getting him in March after quarantine started. my parents and sister though had started planning getting him back in December of 2019. we have had him for almost a year now, and he has grown quite a bit. he is also becoming an even better emotional support dog as he trains.”
