I adopted from the local shelter, he is a mutt. But he is just so attuned to "me" He often can "sense" a mood shift in me before I do. When he stays glued to me , literally, yes it gives me a heads up so I can address it right then.

"Sirius" was just a scared hurt puppy with an infected leg that would have caused him to die within a few days had I not adopted him and gone right to the vet.. Him and I just clicked the moment our eyes met, So I don't know what a trained Psych dog would /could do other than offer unconditional love also.

One thing I do think about having a pet whether it is trained or not.. It "makes" you get up and take care of there needs.... even when you cant imagine leaving your bed, You must.. there is no option ! That furry friend depends on you.
