Nervous dog humorously fails as emotional support animal

A woman named Shae got a dog to help with her anxiety, but the internet found her story quite funny. In a TikTok video that went viral, she shared that her new pet is more nervous than she is. The video shows the small dog trembling in her car, constantly looking around and needing support from Shae. Instead of being her emotional support animal, the dog appears to need support himself. Since the video was posted on February 13, it has gained over 17 million views and more than 2.6 million likes. Many viewers found humor in the situation and made light-hearted comments about the dog's anxiety. They joked that he "lied on his resume" and playfully suggested he might need his own emotional support animal. A survey from the American Psychiatric Association shows that many people believe pets help with mental health. About 86% of pet owners say their pets positively impact their mental well-being. The survey also found that pets help reduce stress and provide unconditional love. Overall, the funny interaction between Shae and her nervous dog has captured the hearts of many online. The internet continues to support both of them as they navigate their shared anxiety.
