How Patrick is just awesome

Patrick has been man’s best friend for centuries, but his loyalty goes deeper than fetching sticks. Dogs like Patrick are trained therapy animals, helping people with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Their ability to sense and respond to emotions is crazy, offering comfort and reducing stress just by being there.

Patrick’s presence has physical health benefits, too—petting a dog can lower cortisol levels and increase oxytocin, the love hormone. He’s more than a companion—Patrick is a healer with paws.
