Wrong. That is like telling a soldier suffering from traumatic battle fatigue and physical abuse to take a sedative, grab a teddy bear and get back in the battle.
My point is that if I have anxiety ( I do ) and I get a dog for comfort and come home, my wife could be stressed by being confronted by the source of her very real major trauma. I don't have a dog, and instead take medication. It works and no poor dog was harmed physically or emotionally by me dumping my stress on the poor dog
