What the petition asks
I have mental health problems, anxiety and depression. My dog helps me get out; keeps me calm in town when it's crowded and stops me acting on suicidal thoughts. My dog has given me a reason to get out of bed. Surely this will also help the NHS.
I have also spoken to other people with mental health and found their dogs have been a huge help to them.”
