Mindfulness & Animals??
However its worth the effort to find yourself in the moment acknowledging who your with, where you are, and how you feel.
Your anxiety lives in the future and your depression lives in past. A healthy minded you is in the here and now!
This is the why being mindful is so powerful. You can simply start by being mindful when you walk your dog, by not looking at your phone, or thinking of your to-do list. Focusing on what you see, smell, hear, taste and feel as you do so.
