Why did you join BorrowMyDoggy?

I had depression and wanted to get active - I wanted to meet a dog to walk.

How has your BorrowMyDoggy experience changed your life?

I previously had a Labrador as teenager and I was heartbroken when he passed away. I felt unable to get another dog as he was the family’s everything. I suffer with quite bad depression and after some therapy. I decided I was missing a dog. I joined BorrowMyDoggy. I wanted to get a bit more active and meet a dog to walk. I met an owner called Kim and her 2 yr old Labrador. I have walked him multiple times now and I miss him when I’m not with him. It has transformed my life and I’m now hoping to get a rescue dog. Thank you!

How have you (and/or your dog) benefited from being a BorrowMyDoggy member?

It improves my mental health and helps me get active in the outdoors.

What's been the biggest surprise for you in being part of our community?

I never imagined there was a such a thing as borrowing dogs, it’s such a fabulous idea for anyone who wants to have some company of a furry friend.
