Some medical workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic have taken to social media to acknowledge a major source of comfort as they deal with fear, anxiety and sadness: their dogs.
Last week, Crudo-Josefosky submitted a photo of her dog Waffle to the Instagram account The Dogist, which profiles the stories of dogs and often their owners, celebrating how much her dog means to her in a time of such sadness and stress. “I don’t know how she understands it, but she does. It’s probably due partially to her beautiful personality, and partially to the fact that we spend a ton of time together,” she says.
Elias Friedman, the creator of The Dogist, which has 3.7 million followers, has been highlighting how dogs specifically are helping medical workers and others during the pandemic. His main mission: to raise awareness about the realities of what medical workers are going through to encourage people to stay home.
She’s preparing to soon be redeployed to the emergency department in anticipation of a rise in COVID-19 patients in early May. So far she’s only been issued one regular mask, not an N95, and they are expected to wear it constantly. She tells Yahoo Lifestyle she struggles with feelings of fear, being overwhelmed and is angry, too.
