I think she is saving my life and its not even my dog

A while ago I asked around im my neighborhood if anyone needed help with dog walks because I was depressed and needed a reason to get outside. I came into contact with an older woman who had recently become a widow and she needed help. since a few months back I go out for walks with this wonderful two-year-old girl schnauzer a couple of times a week. today we went to a lake and had zoomies on the beach.

she makes me laugh and since I started walking with her I have started to feel better. some days I don't have the energy for longs walks, sometimes we just sit together on a bench instead and practice some tricks and do some nose work. she cries with joy every time I come to get her. here are some pictures 🩶
