Mental health: Saved by my 'guide dog for the mind'

Health Check

Available for over a year

Mental health campaigner Marion Janner says her life was saved numerous times by her support dog Buddy when she was living with borderline personality disorder. Marion describes the central role animals play in Marion’s life and how she coped when Buddy died last year. Marion says, Buddy "enabled me to leave the house and function safely during a really grim dark decade". Photo: Marion Janner with Buddy at the BBC's All in the Mind awards in 2016 Credit: BBC
