When Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Scarecrow went skipping down the yellow brick road to see the wonderful wizard of Oz, they all hoped that the great Oz would magically meet their needs for brains, courage, compassion and Kansas with no effort on their part.
Just as the Wizard of Oz was a fake, and Dorothy and her friends had the ability to meet their needs within themselves, the dog is also a fake saviour. The dog becomes part of the problem, not the solution. Buying a dog will not sort out problems with no effort on your part.
Get rid of the dog. You don't need a dog. Sort out your own problems.
Get a grip and grow up.

For anyone who is offended by my inclusion of veterans in this video, this is taken from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website:
“Currently, there is not enough research to know if dogs help treat PTSD and its symptoms. Evidence-based therapies and medications for PTSD are supported by clinical research. We encourage you to learn more about these treatments because it is difficult to draw strong conclusions from the few studies on dogs and PTSD that have been done.
Recovering from PTSD is a process. Evidence-based treatments for PTSD help people do things they have been avoiding because of their PTSD, such as standing close to a stranger or going into a building without scanning it for danger first. Evidence-based treatments can also help people feel better. Dogs can help you deal with some parts of living with PTSD, but they are not a substitute for effective PTSD treatment.
Although people with PTSD who have a service dog for a physical disability or emotional support dog may feel comforted by the animal, there is some chance they may continue to believe that they cannot do certain things on their own. For example, if the dog keeps strangers from coming too close, the owner will not have a chance to learn that they can handle this situation without the dog. Becoming dependent on a dog can get in the way of the recovery process for PTSD. Based on what we know from research, evidence-based treatment provides the best chance of recovery from PTSD.”
