That was an amazing read! Thanks for writing and sharing it. Two things that struck me are

PTSD has been documented in canines who served in the military. [1] Additionally, it is believed that dogs are capable of suffering from autism

I'm on the spectrum so the fact that dogs can be autistic is really interesting, and it's unsurprising about the PTSD, given the fact that they can have really bad anxiety and trauma if they experience their owner dying

You have a fascinating blog which I'm going to bookmark and explore, cheers for the share!

Thanks, I'm glad you liked it!

I haven't posted anything new in a while because grad school is keeping me busy. But I'm sure I'll post more in the future.
