- Woman was struggling with depression and nothing seemed to help until she met a dog who was going through something very similar ❤️🩹
We spoke with Taylor, who shared with us how this one dog changed her life forever, so now she was determined to change hers too!
We are celebrating National Pet Month by featuring special dogs like Kaya!

Dogs will love you more than you love yourself…💕
Very true..l wish l could afford one!
Dog = God 😇
Wow. This is so very true! Thanks.
❤
They are happiness on 4 legs. Never met a creature that made me smile as much as a dog. ❤
Amen❤
What a beautiful comment !!!
She also made the smart but tough to wait to adopt so that she could give her dog the best life possible ❤❤👍👍👍
Yay!!! Amen 2 that!!!!
Or laugh!
I'm a psychiatrist. My pitbull sits in the same seat as me as I see patients. Except for my OCD patients w contamination issues.....everybody loves her. Great way to break the ice when a sweet dog greets u coming in.
Pitbulls are illegal, Genius.
@@mattlaeff724not in our country so be nice, genius
A family member of mine has OCD and she loves dogs!! She prefers being near dogs than humans!! Bless you for showing how sweet pitbulls can be 😻💖💖❤️!
I have contamination issues but I still love to be around dogs. I figure I can always wash my hands and anything else afterwards, if needed.
Kaya and Taylor were meant for each other
Soulmates
Animals can REALLY help with depression.
Money can’t buy happiness but you can rescue it
I was already diagnosed with severe depression when my mom died. As expected, it became even worse. Got a dog as recommended by my doc. People were dubious whether I could take care of a puppy. Having a dog changed my life. I no longer relied on medication and became happier. Truly, dogs are the best antidepressants!
I'm sorry about your mom. Mine died a few years ago and I inherited the house I grew up in, along with her dog, a boxer whom I absolutely adored. He got hip dysplasia a few months after my mom passed and had to be put down. I've just been kind of existing since then, but I'm hoping I can pull myself together enough to get another dog
Bless you ❤️. I am so sorry to hear that your mother very sadly passed away. Animals are always the best medicine, no doubt.
@@Amero2323 I am so sorry to hear that your mother and boxer dog very sadly passed away ❤️. Bless you. If it's any comfort, I think there are quite a few people who are existing rather than living too. You're not alone 💖.
I'm so glad she's helping you. There's nothing like the love of a dog. ❤❤❤🐕🐕🐕
'We rescue the dogs and the dogs save us humans in return'...a sayingthat could not be truer.
Kay might have health issues but she still has a lot to offer in life
Pets are unconditional love at it's finest.
I couldn't live without my dog. My furbabys keep me going with all the love
My best friend is a dog. She has gave me the love that nobody else did, when I needed it. And I have return that love. Everytime she sees me she is super happy and cant hide her excitenment, Im always happy to see her too. She follows me everywhere when I am around :) unconditional love
Puppies are always an anti-depressant
Dogs are ALWAYS the best antidepressant. ❤
True and with no side effects either! 🙂
@@BlueGoat682 Well there are side effects like improved fitness and social contacts when going on the regular walks with your dog 🙂
I hope that i can get a dog again in the future, right now my job keeps me too busy and sometimes i have to travel for a few days, so i dont have the time it takes to give a dog a good home i am confident that in the future it will work out.
I have PTSD and depression anxiety, I got a newborn kitten 2 years ago and since then I have gotten off my depression medicine! She was the best thing that's ever happened to me besides my children she brings so much joy into my life she is my best friend!
❤❤❤
So glad they found each other!
I also struggle with chronic depression and I got my girl certified as a psychiatric service dog. I always say that she is the best medicine. It's an uphill journey and people don't always understand why I need her but it's always been worth it.
I have found that the best remedy for depression is happy music, belly laugh jokes, and gardening. My daily routine uses all of them. My depressed brain needs that stimulation I have discovered. Dancing with my two dogs helps, too!
She is your angel.
You two will take care of each other.
A dog is the BEST antidepressant EVER! I have a blue fawn pitbull named hannah and she is my ESA i LOVE her will ALL my heart.
I am so happy for you to adopt her. She is the best thing for you.
These two were made for each other
They were meant to be together.....!!!❤
BEAUTIFUL!! They can magically keep you so less stressed and so joyous in this world!! I live for my dogs 💟
If I wasn’t so damn tired all the time, I’d love to play with puppies for hours on end 😞
God bless this woman and her gorgeous doggy ❤
Bless their hearts.
I am so glad Kaya rescued this nice young lady. ❤
She looks like an absolute sweetheart.. ❤
I always had and have dogs and they are the best friends. When aged they fly to the sky with their own angel 😇 I cry and cry. And I believe the next one is send by the last one from heaven. Be happy forever family and dogs 🐕❤
OmG my beloved 13 year old baby died last week.. this message makes me feel so much better
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Wish you both happiness and good health.
Is there a time when a dog isn't an antidepressant .
when you see them chained up by cruel owners.
@@bikedawg 😪😪😪
So glad you adopted her. IDK how anyone could give her up after 7 years - lifestyle change WTH!
Animals restore, the soul restore the spirit.
❤❤❤. They’re meant for each other. X
Eckhart Tolle says that dogs are guardian of being ❤
Another great heartwarming story❤
She is your best friend for life. What a gorgeous dog😊
God bless you for taking care of this precious soul. Critters rule!
**UNTIL ONE HAS TRULY LOVED AN ANIMAL, A PART OF ONES SOUL REMAINS UNAWAKENED!!**
Beautiful story. I burst into tears when I saw her name. My dog of 14 years was called Kaya. I got her from an animal refuge when she was just 8 weeks old. I got her when I was just 19 years of age. She was my best friend and my everything ❤
Dogs, and really any pet, fulfill such a role in our lives. They can make a difference!
Lovely❤! I remember reading an article where a woman with multiple health issues lost her cat. Her health that had been stable started to decline. She was talking to her doctor, not a therapist or mental health specialist, I think it may have been her cardiologist., and he said, “Get another cat.” She did almost immediately after he said that & her condition began to improve. Don’t underestimate what love from a pet can do!
When you rescue a dog, they pour love out onto you. A great antidepressant.
They complete each other ❤❤❤
Dog can be defined as unconditional love wearing a fur coat. 🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️
Pets are the best therapy ever! They literally saved my life and now that I've lost them all due to old age and ilness I live every day hoping I can have other pets in the future as I can't right now.
They're pure love and joy! ❤
You rescued each other… how wonderful!
So happy you found puppy love. Wishing you well. ❤
Aussies are the best! We've always had one and always will! We have a Toy Australian Shepherd now. Shes just like a standard size only in a smaller package❤
I rescued a bonded pair of whippets seven years ago, which helped me no end during a very difficult time back then. I often reflect, who saved who?
Great for you that the dog has alleviated your depression. And great for the dog that you take her to dog parks. This is so good for a dog's mental and physical health.
Is there a time when a dog isn't an antidepressant 🙂
Vocal chihuahuas and the dogs that are bred too stocky to breathe?
When they diarrhea all over the new carpet.
Amen!
@@sarahd3422 sometimes dogs have diarrea, just like human, just like you Sarah! This has nothing to do with antidepressant ! If it unfortenely happen? Just clean the carpet, and take care of sick dog! 😊
You needed each other. So sweet.
What an excellent story! The pupper seems so happy now...hes now living his best life for sure!.
What a lovely story. Dogs give us love unconditionally. You've chosen to give them just as much love back. I wish you every happiness.
Best cure for depression
❤ I understand that ❤. Dogs heal old wounds❤
You chose your dog, and Kay Kay clearly chose her human! Dogs absolutely deserve all the love and affection we can give them, and we absolutely deserve all the love and affection they can give us ‘cause when the connection is there it’s a thing of beauty…and the connection is between you and Kay Kay is stunningly beautiful! Sending love & aloha from Honolulu to you and your new ohana member! 🥰🤙🏽❤️🌈☀️
Kaya is beautiful! I'm glad she found her furever home!! 😊
I adopted a rescue dog 2 years ago. I was told she was a beagle-hound mix...embark dna test revealed she is actually a german shepherd, husky, hound mix - lol! What I thought would be a 35lbs dog is currently 92lbs!!! But she is the cutest dog I have ever owned. Just like your experience, I have delt with a lot of depression and anxiety and hypertension the last 10+ years, and adopting my rescue 2 years ago was the greatest decision ever! :) Just thinking about her makes me smile...and I swear when I hug her and tell her "I love you" she understands me...she really lifts my spirits and gets me outside walking...and she listens to me...and the husky in her leads to a lot of talking back to me or just communicating when she wants to go for a walk and even when she wants to take an afternoon nap with me - no joke! She's so cute. I feel sad for her when we're in public because she looks like a big scary dog and lots of people change direction or the side of the street to avoid her. But I understand and that's ok. All I know is that I kiss her and tell her I love her every single day because life without her wouldn't be the same! Dogs are the best companions on the planet hands down! :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for adopting this beautiful Sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️
Yep, no pills needed when you have a dog (or any pet really). They're so loving and loyal. Real sweethearts ❤
2:30 this is so true with doggos!!! They just unlock a new side of yours which you never knew there was or there could be. ❤❤😊🎉
Oh My! To be literally given a Border Collie???!!!!! Good match! What a gift! WOOF! 🐶💓
Dogs are ALWAYS in a 'happy mood'....
And thats infectious!...😅
Beautiful relationship, dogs are therapeutic....so loving and sweet xo
She looks exactly like my dog and she's really sweet. 🥰
Really animals is the best friend and best well wisher of our life's, animals understand human emotions, animals very loyal , thank you so much adopt this beautiful brave buddy, god bless you.
They are always the best.
Beautiful friendship
So so wonderful how they found each other!
Thank you for taking a chance on her! ❤❤ glad to hear your mental health is doing better! 😊
That's a true love ❤️ 😊
Many years of love and happiness to you both❤
It's amazing what animals can do for someone's mental health, from a rat, cat, dog horse, or even pig. They are nonjudgemental, love you unconditionally, and they just somehow know when your having a really shitty day that you need a little TLC and just come for a snuggle. I don't know what I would do without my 2 cats, my ginger tom suffers from really bad anxiety, but everything is on his terms, then we rescued 8wk kitten (black cats are hard to rehome in UK, due to the stigma attached to them ) he's the total opposite and so loving and gentle and knows when your having a bad day.
I’m so happy for the both of you! Borders are usually highly intelligent and motivated pups who need a constant job, challenge, and exercise. I’m glad you two found each other! 💕 🐾🐾
Congratulations to you both for finding your heart partners 🐾 it's a relationship like no other. Many happy and playful years together!
There is NO LIFE without dogs!
So happy you discovered how wonderful & loving dogs/pets are for us. You're doggie is very lucky to have such a loving owner who values pets. Glad your depression is better.
An Animal's love goes beyond the Physical you, Animals love your Soul 🐕 🐈 🐎 🐒 ❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hooray for you both! ❤❤
My cat brought me back from dark places, too. I can relate to this story in many ways.
💖💖💖
Happy Pet Month!
Of course, every day is Pet Day. Just ask mine. :)
I am so glad that Kaya and Taylor adopted each other. I love that Taylor said she was concerned about having a high energy dog and then gets one of the most energetic dogs! lol! Good for her taking Kay to the dog park to run and run.
Blessings!!!!!!
Dogs are the best people 💓🐾
Cats and dogs are the true antidepressants! I got through years and years of bad jobs because I woke up in the morning and came home every night just because I was greeted by an eagar furry face!
BEAUTIFUL, I am so happy for you both 🤍🖤💚
A therapy dog ❤
Kay is a beautiful dog and seems very sweet. You saved her and, I think, she saved you. Her love is unconditional and she will always accept you for who you are. Sharing your life with her beats taking any medication or treatment. A dog’s love heals many ailments, restores confidence, brings happiness and provides companionship. I hope the two of you live a long, healthy and happy life together filled with love. Good luck!! ❤❤❤❤
So happy for you
So happy that she has been bringing you joy!
❤
Absolutely gorgeous
I’m so glad you took her home! TY!
Animals and being with them is the best therapy and medicine you could ever have 💖❤️❤️!! Bless you for adopting Kay Kay as well 🐶😻💖❤️!!
