    But that’s where the advantage over a human therapist comes in: not being able to understand words except maybe “walkies”, “food” and “car”.

    Also, isn’t “trauma dumping” a derogatory term about “dumping” your trauma at an inconsiderate time and/or place? Because during therapy is the PERFECT time and place as long as you do it right…

      Yeah, but if I’m not mistaken dogs can read human feeling.

      If that goes all the way to empathy (which a lot of dog owners would say it does), people around him being unhappy is probably not good for the dog.

      (Mind you, the reason I personally like dogs is because it definitelly works the other way around, and making a dog happy - and hence getting a pleasanty feeling from it through empathy - is usually pretty easy)

      Dont know if trauma dumping used derogatory. Only heard use when talking about trauma a lot, so become dump of trauma. What you mention sound more like TMI (too much information).
