Right Boy, Right Time w/ Porochista Khakpour

from Dog Save The People · host Dog Save The People

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. - SOCIAL MEDIA - Website - https://www.dogsavethepeople.com - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dogsavethepeople - Twitter - https://twitter.com/dogsavetheppl - Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/dogsavethepeople - FEATURED LINKS - Porochista Khakpour on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/pchza - Porochista Khakpour on Twitter - https://twitter.com/PKhakpour - Porochista Khakpour on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/PorochistaKhakpourAuthor - Porochista Khakpour’s book about her illness, SICK (2018) - https://www.amazon.com/Sick-Memoir-Porochista-Khakpour/dp/006242873X - Porochista Khakpour’s latest book, Brown Album: Essays on Exile and Identity (2020) - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/598265/brown-album-by-porochista-khakpour/
