San Diego, CA – Susan Graham, a woman in San Diego battling depression and the aftermath of addiction and homelessness, found a life-changing connection with a rescue dog named Baby Boy.
At a low point in her life, Graham met the puggle at the San Diego Humane Society. He became her lifesaver, helping her overcome thoughts of suicide.
Since adopting Baby Boy, Graham’s outlook has transformed. She no longer feels lonely and even says he has replaced her need for human companionship. The bond between them has been so strong that it overcame her initial reluctance to adopt a dog.
Scientific studies support such connections, showing that canine companionship can reduce stress and anxiety. The San Diego Humane Society, which currently has 600 dogs awaiting adoption, highlights how some of the most meaningful bonds are formed with those who least expect them.
