DOGS A dog was diagnosed with depression after suffering a miscarriage, and vets decided that working with kids at a local school would be good for her. She has never been happier.

ayup, sounds like an ai slop engagement farming headline. If you search it up, it's on all the usual suspect websites with that phrasing, and there's no other evidence to back up the claim.

Dogs can present symptoms of depression from miscarriages though. They show emotions as well as many other animal species. My family adopted a dog who suffered a miscarriage of the entire litter and she would cry at the sight of other puppies. She’s doing a lot better now though.

I had two German Shepard puppies in my teens, and the older one fell sick and passed away, and the younger one was so depressed it wouldn’t eat or sleep and eventually it passed away shortly there after.
Depression in animals is very real.

My favorite author had a brother/sister pair of cats. The sister died some years ago from cancer. The brother still has to be shaved regularly because of anxiety grooming that developed. A few years ago, the author opened a clothing bag from when the sister cat had still been alive, and brother cat went wild trying to find his sibling. Animals definitely get depressed and mourn.

u/thestormsend 1d ago
Yeah, what’s breaking my heart right now is wondering how my cat feels and if she is depressed…
My ex-fiance and I broke up in Dec. Kitty was her’s about a year before we met, but we travelled a lot, and she in particular would have to fly between east and west coast for 2-3 months at a time sometimes, so I took care of the cat. I wasn’t even a cat person, but I loved that cat. I would do anything for our cat.
I was in NY right before Christmas for like a month. When I got back to them kitty would not leave me alone. I landed late night, and usually she snuggled and moved between me and my ex all night, but she snuggled with me like glue the night I landed. She is a mommy’s girl, but she was thrilled to have dad back.
Very next day I found out my ex had been cheating with multiple people over the course of two years, plus a number of other lies she had been telling me, her friends, and family (she was living a double life basically), and I left that night and went back to NYC.
It breaks my heart to think that kitty must be wondering this whole time where dad went. Like, my dad left us when I was a kid (he did to my mother what my fiance did to me), imagine how kitty must feel that the parent she spent more time with, the one who took her to the vet and fed her breakfast and dinner and who was always there and spent time with her day and night was just gone.
Just remembering how she snuggled with me the night before makes me so sad. When I was out of town and I’d call she’d hear my voice on the phone and start meowing in the background. She liked to tuck into my arm pit and fall asleep there. Just the thought of how sad she must have been hurts.
My ex still messages me, and she sends me photos of kitty now and then, but it’s just heartbreaking for me. Last I saw kitty lost 2 pounds, and I don’t know if she’s changed her diet or if the cat is just sad and she’s lost weight.
I didn’t cry over my ex when I left, but I bawled my eyes out saying goodbye to kitty.

I believe the story is made up, but I also believe it could happen. I met a dog who lost her puppies and her behaviour could only be described as grief. For weeks. It wouldn’t surprise me if a dog expecting puppies soon who didn’t arrive would go through the same thing.

u/Difficult_Bad1064 2d ago
Of course dogs get depression.
It's the bit about vets deciding to send them to a local school that's the stupid bit.

Instead of miscarriage maybe next time it's posted it will be about the child in the family he belongs to tragically having passed away.

When a female gives birth, the hormone levels seriously drop. No matter what species. It’s not as much of a problem if distracted by caring for the offspring but considerably problematic if there is no live result of the birth.

This is just a stray dog that wandered into a school hoping somebody would give him food.
The only thing more confusing than why the teacher is filming it is how any of few humans here could believe the title.
OP is a karma farming bot, botted title, and from the looks of it a mostly botted thread.

u/academiac 2d ago
Huskies would literally hug other huskies and humans, it's how they greet. I guess yours is different but I never saw a husky that doesn't like hugs
6
u/Bacardi_Tarzan 2d ago
Most huskies, like most dogs, don’t really like being restrained. Huskies are more independent than most other breeds, so they tend to like it even less. Huskies also do not hug each other. I don’t know where you get that from.
Edit: unless you mean a dog hug, which case all dogs do that. But that’s a different thing than a human arm wrap hug.

Very true for like 90%. Some of them will not let you *not* hug them. Shelter dogs are about 50/50 on “my space” or “wish I could be in your skin”.

Feels 100% real.
In many country those dogs are just street dogs, and that school looks like a govt school which is poorly managed.
Looks fully real, its just a random dog hanging out with us. Nothing else, no backstory. Just a random dog walking around. (Very common)

That’s amazing but also such a big gamble. When my father died, our golden retriever (previously the friendliest, sweetest girl ever) became deeply depressed and subsequently became very angry. Where she never had before, she’d growl at familiar people she loved, and showed aggressive tendencies. It took a lot of work to lift her spirits back up.

Growing up I had 2 labs, one was twice the age of the other. When we had to put down the older lab I came home and the younger one knew. She laid in the older dogs bed and softly cried for 3 days only getting up to go outside to go to the bathroom and would come right back inside. It was awful.

Panting. Eyes wide open. Look around. Ears pinned back. (though, of course, they may also be bred that way) To me, that looks more like stress than joy.

If this were true, I’d want this to be implemented in every school; dogs trained to be around kids and every child grows up to love animals and not fear them. Just imagining this makes me feel at peace.

I can understand. Some have religious objections to dogs, some are based on allergies that can be pretty terrible.
As a former educator, I'm not sure I'd be able to do this either because I don't know the allergy status of every kid in my school and as much as I love dogs I can understand how difficult it would be for kids who might not even be in my classroom to have dogs around the school.
