I’m sure you've heard of therapy dogs, but have you considered that your Jack Russell might actually be a "therapist in a fur coat"? Lol! Let's break it down:

1. Unconditional Love: Ever had a session with a therapist who wags their tail when you walk in? Didn't think so. I am delighted to see this guys tail wag when I talk to him!

2. The Here and Now: Forget mindfulness apps, your Jack Russell lives for the moment. No ruminating about the past or stressing about the future. My Jack definitely helps me practice mindfulness! I love to look at his face in great detail or listen to the sound of him breathing!

3. Physical Exercise: Your furry friend will make sure you get out for a walk whether you feel like it or not. Say hello to endorphins! 🌞

I’m not saying to run out and get a Jack Russell but gosh they can really bring a lot of joy to your life!
