I hope so. It's something I could use so badly, I actually got my mum's dog in about 18 months ago for company because I was going nuts and knew I couldn't get out of the house, so I got her with me to help motivate me....but she buried a huge bone in the back of his favourite sofa, and was banished back home forever more.
One day.
One day.

Well, we knew that she was capable of it, so she was banned outside whilst eating the bone, but the clusterf*ck who was living with us (long story, financially supported him for 3 years whilst helping him through custody court) couldn't be bothered closing the back door after his kids, and so the dog came in.
I was devastated as well as very amused........its hard to explain!
I don't blame my partner for sending her back home, he had done so much in tolerating her despite hating dogs, but she was so good for me while she was here.

Yeah, it was good.
Besides, every time I thrashed around in a nightmare she would come and wake me up, but now most of my nightmares are in REM sleep which means no one knows when I'm dreaming, and therefore don't wake me up.
What has your cute little 'fox' learned to do for you?

She follows me from room to room so I'm never alone and alerts if anything is not OK. She sleeps curled up against my side or back and keeps me warm and safe ( again, if she's sleeping,I know we are alone and OK).
If I'm having a nightmare she will lick my face and wake me up.
When I am anxious or restless, she lays across my legs or chest and helps to ground me. When we're out, she greets people first (she's a great judge of character and if someone is not OK she leads me away) and creates a buffer for me. She alerts if I am going to have a panic attack and if needed pulls me to the exit.
When we get home or go to a new place I feel safe with her because she wil alert me if it's not.
If I freeze or begin to fade out she pokes my leg with her nose repeatedly to ground me and if necessary jumps up and gives me a"hug" and "talks" to get my attention.
She gives me unconditional Love and total acceptance, a reason to get up every day and to go out for walks and to play.
If I sit at the computer got more than an hour or if I'm on the phone and sound upset, she wil bring me toys until she has my attention and I play with her which gets me moving and calms me down.
She is always aware of where I am and how I am feeling and reflects it back to me. This makes me try harder to stay calm.
I Love my Kira!
Now Doozer is the comic relief and snuggler! He stays home with the cat when we go to town unless I'm training him.

That sounds fabulous.
Do you know what I mean when I say that sometimes my brain 'dozes out' whilst crossing the road, or you do something but it's almost as if you are sleepwalking?
It's one of the reasons I want to get a service dog, because I'm scared that if I 'doze' out while I'm dealing with traffic, I'll get hurt.
It doesn't happen all the time, but enough for me to be a bit worried when I 'come to'.
