Right Boy, Right Time w/ Porochista Khakpour

Porochista Khakpour was struggling with an undiagnosed case of late-stage Lyme Disease, having to go through medical treatments every day. As a suggestion to help Porochista get through her disease recovery, her doctor encouraged her to consider an emotional support dog. He said there could be a positive impact on her health as a result, and he was right. She got a poodle puppy and never looked back. That dog, Cosmo, helped motivate her to take hikes outside, focus on someone else by taking him to puppy school, and bring a level of unconditional love that has led to them being an inseparable pair ever since. It's clear that Cosmo was crucial to her recovery and finding a new, positive way forward in her life.
