My dog. JD, is very protective of me; he’s an ESA and I’ve also done some more specialized training with him. One of those things is that he puts himself between me and whatever is causing me to be anxious. One of those things is people raising their voice.

Somehow, I love metal music though.

As I was listening to metal music one night, the song got to the part with yelling. JD was on my bed, sat at alert, and tried to get in between me and the yelling music.

Good boy, but they were supposed to yell that time.
