       In 2014, me and Nikita were staying at a domestic violence shelter. I was in the worst psych crisis of my life and in so much emotional pain. At the time no one had ever shown me love in my entire life. I was engaging in self-harm because of depression, and Nikita figured out what I was doing to myself and laid her overweight body across my arm so I couldn’t hurt myself anymore. She wouldn’t move. I leaned over and cried on her. It was the first time in my life anyone had shown me love, and it was the greatest moment of love anyone could have done for me. I never did it again.From that day on, she has taken care of me if my brain malfunctions and goes into crisis. She does things only trained service dogs do. All out of love.Fortunately, our life is the best it’s ever been and I am the most stable I’ve ever been. I owe her the world and the happiest life possible for all that she’s done for me. She showed me so much love when I had no one.She chose to bond to me, and hates everyone but me, and I am so grateful to have her. I’ve done what I’ve had to do to take care of her. Even when I was so poor I couldn’t buy myself food, but I used the last of my money to buy cat food so she didn’t go hungry. We’ve been through so much together the last 11 years. I love this cat with the depths of my heart.That’s my story of Nikita.
