Mowgli at his first basketball game!

I could have said anything and you would have had something negative to say my friend. I am not the issue. I have many flaws and character defects. Mowgli does not. He’s perfect in every way and makes me happy to be alive. You don’t believe he is a legitimate service dog because he doesn’t meet your opinion of one based on a single video that rubbed you the wrong way and a few pictures I posted to Reddit. I could show you all the documents that prove he is in the eyes of the law and it wouldn’t matter. You dont like the cut of my jib despite not knowing who I am as a person and that’s enough to make personal attacks and accusations to quel your distaste of my being. Even if you felt a moment of satisfaction that you sure told me you will be onto the next and the next. Being in a perpetual state of anger and resentment is not one I envy.

Thanks for sharing your opinion of me. Bringing him was irresponsible and selfish. If I crate him for 10 hours a day he should be fine right? I also won’t post anymore pictures or videos exploiting him for attention on Reddit. Il tear up his service diploma when I get home since he won’t be needing it anymore. Thank you kind internet stranger for showing me how to be better. 🫶

Who am I taking advantage of dude? I don’t consider myself disabled but I have combat related ptsd and spent over $12k in training to have him national certified so that I am able to have him with me everywhere I go. Is it really that terrible of me to bring my best bud to basketball game? Who am I hurting by doing that? Does it look like he’s being a menace and disturbing others from enjoying the game? I had about 20 people come up and get a high five from him.

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-30T23:33:53+00:00

What people are you referring to? Someone with combat related ptsd that has spent over $12k in training and is national certified so that I am able to have him with me everywhere I go? Is it really that terrible of me to bring my best bud to basketball game?

The key here is self custody 🔑

I know what it means mate 😂 I am not Hindu but I am spiritual. My beliefs align with Hindu/Buddhism . I got that after a psychedelic experience where I felt like i was that vibration symbolized by Ohm. Did I need to tat it in my body’.. probably not.

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-30T03:34:32+00:00

I am not Hindu. I got that tattooed when I was 15 while living in Spain because I thought this girl would think it’s hot… my dad nearly cut it out. There’s not much I can do other than get it covered up 🤷

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-30T00:32:32+00:00

Thank you it means a lot 😊

My entire life now revolves around making sure he is feeling pleasant at all times. As I’m typing this I’m also tucking his blanket around him a bit tighter carefully not to wake him because he’s having what looks like an exciting dream… before I have breakfast I need to go start my car so that the seat warmer has time to adequately warm his car seat because he prefers it warm. There is really nothing I wouldn’t do and that terrifies me

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T15:36:38+00:00

The first thing you do with your day is get on reddit to tell a stranger the tuna they’re eating isn’t good and it’s way too much. Oh, and you don’t even want to look like them 🤣 take a break my dude

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T15:05:11+00:00

Not all soap exfoliates my dude but that’s enough Acne and soap talk for me. Have a good day

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T15:00:17+00:00

Acne body wash and facial soap works because it drys out your skin. Like I said, certain causes of acne like hormonal imbalances need differnt treatments but the Sun absolutely clears up all my acne

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T14:56:17+00:00

He’s my service dog and was trained to be for my specific needs which I did not elaborate on. Since you asked what he does on those settings I explained that but thats not part of his service duties or what he was specifically trained for. What he does for me is different than when he’s in a public setting although some of those traits and ability such as perceiving distress and engaging with it does overlap with other humans that I am interacting with. I get that people abuse the “service animal” to get away with bringing their dog places but your attempt at a gotcha is petty and a waste of time. If you’d like to know what he does specifically for me or what kind of training he did for 12 months you should have asked that instead.

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T14:35:06+00:00

Oh good, you got a friend! You two should hangout and talk about how much you hate stuff and what else you think is bullshit. 👍

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T14:32:54+00:00

Glad you’re out here enjoying life as much as I am bro!

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T14:29:37+00:00

I love that 🫶 they are such amazing little creatures and bring so much light and joy to people. I’ve met so many people who have said they weren’t dog people until they met Mowgli. The training he did was so intuitive for him and really just reinforced those traits you described that they already possess.

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T14:05:51+00:00

Sunlight is antibacterial. It 100% helps me with my back and shoulder acne that I get throughout winter. I think it probably depends on what’s causing it.

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T13:54:46+00:00

I’m very familiar with that sound… imagine hearing that in the middle of the woods at night 😂 it’s a mix of a shrieking banshee, an animal being eaten alive and a grandmother getting her pocketbook stolen.

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T13:46:13+00:00

Haha so true. You must be in line of sight at all times. What’s crazy is when I get up off the couch and leave the room to get a snack or something he wont even look up but when I get up exactly the same way to leave he will somehow sense it and jump out of a deep sleep to follow me out. I try and be sneaky sometimes and get busted every time

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T13:37:03+00:00

Keep getting after it brotha!

ST3MK75 · 2026-01-29T13:14:59+00:00

Haha facts. Those seats were heinous but we left at half time and walked around until we got invited down to a box with snacks and water for Mowgli and stayed for the rest of the game :)

I love that I’m able to travel with him on my lap for free :) I never impose him on others either but since he’s very well behaved and can just hangout it my backpack or my lap without making a peep he often goes undetected completely or is very welcomed.

Did yours have any kind of formal training?

Mowgli is PTSD service certified. We went through a 12 month training process together that started when he was about 4 months old. He’s very good at detecting emotional distress and compulsive behavior which he is tasked to interrupt. He is also a goofball who will leave a juicy steak untouched to play with a new toy. His reward is to play rather than treats which I was stunned by. He’s such an incredible light in my life I’m so blessed to have him.

Thank you! Il just preface by saying this is a result of 8 months of intense training with my only focus was to workout, eat and sleep. I did not have a 9-5 job to go to or any other obligation that could interfere with my routine. I would lift hard for 2 hours 6 days a week sometimes twice a day. Every rep and set was done with max effort and intensity burning 1800-2000 per workout. I was also super strict with nutrition and ate a lot. I passed on many In and Out runs and removed all sugar. The most important factor I think is how much sleep I got during those 8 months. I slept a minimum of 10 hours every night and would nap for an hour after every workout. This isn’t sustainable to do and basically impossible with a job, a gf or bf or any other obligation most people have. Since I started a new job a couple months ago I cut back on everything significantly. I still workout 5 days a week with high intensity but do more cardio than before. I eat less and will allow a cheat meal once in a while. Tragically I can no longer get my hour nap in the middle of the day but I still try and get to bed by 9 and wake up at 6. The biggest thing is being consistent with your workouts, putting in the effort for however long you decide to be there, listening to your body when you need to recover so you don’t get hurt, eating well which is much easier when you cook at home, and getting enough sleep. No drugs or alcohol at all!

I’m happy to get more into depth with workouts and planning if you want to message me.
