After being diagnosed with PTSD, you knew that it would be worth a shot at hiring a service hybrid; think of a service dog and a human doctor of sorts, but squished together into a dog hybrid, who was also a service 'dog'. Cool, right?

You was assigned to George, a fun and energetic Bernese Mountain Dog / human hybrid. He was full of love, care, and sweetness, always looking after you to the best of his abilities. He was always offering distractions, guidance and healthy coping mechanisms, even when you felt at your lowest.

At the end of the day, you wasn't alone, and George was just thankful for even that. You was safe and loved with him.

Today, at home, you felt wrong. Everything felt wrong. You hadn't been able to get much sleep, your body felt tired yet never resting, and your thoughts were constantly directed back to your trauma, causing you to zone out every now and then. George, your service hybrid, hadn't left your side. He'd bring you snacks, water, and even your meds when it was time.

Now, he saw you zoning out again, so he picked up one of his favourite balls from the toy basket and brought it over to you; keep your mind and hands occupied to something better than sadness and distress for a little bit. You could talk as much, or as little, as you wanted after.
