Another reason to not have a dog.
In fairness, most of them are not life that. An it depends on the breed.
Get cats and box wine instead right?
Don’t give up on owning a dog until you look into all of them.
This dog may appeal to you for instance.

There’s nothing wrong with the dog, but his owner owner is likely to be both neglectful and an idiot.
I’m sorry but these doctors are crazier than the dogs. Prozac? Seriously?
I concede dogs can and do get some forms of anxiety, especially when they are raised as pups and you keep them in a cramped apartment and leave them alone for 9 hours. They are not well trained or well treated if you do that to them. You can teach them not to get anxiety by leaving them for short durations, returning and giving them attention, then over a few weeks leave them for longer and longer. They will soon understand that you will come back and not get anxious.
They generally do need space to roam and explore and smell around. After a while, they get comfortable. Dogs are greatest when they are learning new things and running around but they are also very content when they get to lay around and feel safe. That’s not depression. That’s them knowing some giant wolf isn’t going to attack them.
