Bonny, exactly as you say, one never knows by looking. I've been to the training facility outside Gainesville where dogs are trained to relieve vets of PTSD and heard how just touching the dog brought a man into the present moment. He had not been out of the house in four years, but with the dog for therapy came out as a spokesman to the public to say how effective the dog was in helping him.
(Moral of story, I do not know without the whole story, and no one can.)
