Josh Walker and Baxter
“You can’t see a dog like Baxter and not feel better...”
Some words from Josh Walker:
Living with Baxter reduces my anxiety and stress. He helps me sleep better and having him present reduces anxiety and stress. So if you’re at a restaurant or any big crowded space where normally you might be a little stressed (from PTSD), the dog diverts your attention from the anxiety. Just as the dog takes care of you, you need to take care of the dog.
When I started my own branding and marketing firm, I found that clients love him. You can’t see a dog like Baxter and not feel better. When he’s walking by your side and licking you and making you laugh and putting his paws across your feet—it calms you down. Baxter now helps the whole family. We had the baby about six weeks ago, and if she cries, he gets worried. He makes us all feel better. He’s a constant in my life and my family’s life.
