Being able to grip his best friend, the dog is not afraid.

Australian Cattle Dogs (Blue/Red Heelers) are a super loyal breed.
However, in recent years he has also been joined on many flights by his service dog Shadow. McManus suffers from a general anxiety disorder but manages to keep many of the symptoms in check with the constant companionship of his Australian cattle dog. While flying in itself has been a calming pursuit he soon found out that his service dog never wanted to be away from him (a bit of separation anxiety for Shadow).
McManus said he would often come home from flying to find that Shadow had scratched up the doors and floors while he was away. At the flight park Shadow could run but was often times on the ground chasing him from below as he made his flights. Shadow has even been to known to try to hold onto McManus’ boots with his teeth in order to get in the air. “It felt like he wanted to keep me safe.”
I really do think that dog would prefer to be next to his human under any circumstances.

What reddit bullshit?
edit: if you are talking about the title, I made it "doggo" to get past the length limitations - but I still like to know what you consider "reddit bullshit" to be

I wouldn't say "doggo" is exclusive to reddit, so your title is good with me, goat.
