No I’m not asking for legal advice, I’m more asking like where to start and what benefits it might offer my roommate.

Brownie is an awesome friendly dog, and I think he deserves the badge of emotional support animal. Question is, where to start?

    Why wouldn’t they need help? Do you think the local government goes door to door asking residents if they have any ailments or issues and supplies them with the proper forms and education on what programs or services are available for them? Like how could you possibly come to the conclusion that this would be the case and that your comment was some sort of “gotcha?”

        You think your average person can access therapy services especially in a place like Mississippi, the poorest state in the entire nation? Keep in mind this guy is apparently 66 years old with a roommate.

            Bro lost everything. The plot, this argument, my respect. Rock bottom. Gladly, where they live, apparently therapy is affordable and widely available. Although dogs arent, which is sad, but also a little weird.

            You can’t be a real person. I see homeless people with dogs all day long. You don’t need to be wealthy to own one especially when it’s a rescue that someone dumped in a park. Are you just making ridiculous claims as a way to double down and avoid looking foolish for overreacting or do you really believe what you’re saying?

            Brownie is reasonably affordable for him, and he keeps roommate alert and aware of situations around him and where he stays.

            Reasonably affordable doesn’t mean roommate is wealthy though.

            I take care of elderly and disabled people, and I promise you, none of them are wealthy, they just need help…
