Yes. The vast majority of dogs can be described as loving and loyal companions. mostly due to the fact that they are adorable and lovable tiny dogs. Large dogs are capable of providing the same level of loyalty and protection as smaller dogs, in addition to being reliable watchdogs.

People who struggle with anxiety, sadness, or any number of other emotional or psychological issues would benefit greatly from having one of these canine companions by their side. If properly trained, your Chihuahua will be able to comfort and help anyone who is going through a difficult time mentally or emotionally.

The Chihuahua, like to other breeds of dogs, is born with the innate capacity to decipher human body language.

A Chi has the ability to pick up on its owner’s feelings, even their anxieties. It has a strong awareness of whether its human is upset or anxious and can respond appropriately.

As a direct consequence of this, a Chi that has been properly taught is able to warm and comfort a person by either hugging them or rubbing themselves against them. It’s possible that getting some much-needed emotional support from a Chihuahua may help the person feel better, less alone, and more supported.

Chihuahuas have a body that is both warm and cuddly, and this might help a person who is depressed to stop shaking and crying. When you give a Chihuahua a hug, it helps release endorphins, which are feel-good chemicals, it lowers cortisol, which is the stress hormone, and it causes oxytocin, which is the hormone that makes you feel good (the love hormone).

All of these characteristics can be highly helpful to a person who is coping with a mental disease, such as anxiety, phobia, or depression, because these conditions make it difficult to function normally.

How Many Years Do Chihuahuas Typically Live?

Wondering how long do Chihuahuas live? The Chihuahua dog breed typically lives between 12 and 20 years, which is an impressively long lifespan for a canine breed.

You should be aware that the Chihuahua is one of the dog breeds that lives the longest if you are the owner of a Chihuahua, which is one of the longest-lived dog breeds.

There have been several Chihuahuas that have lived for nearly 15 years, and there have even been those that have reached the mark of 20 years. If you give your Chihuahua the attention and care he deserves, he just might be the next one on the list.
