This is Eric.
He's my 6 month old basset hound and he's a total gem.
The NHS should prescribe basset hounds for depressions and anxiety, also for obesity and this is why:
Eric makes me laugh every day. It's impossible to be low when there's a basset about. Whether he's falling over, tripping up over his ears or planting my shoes in the garden, he's a laugh a minute.
You don't have time to worry or be anxious when you have a hound. They are into everything and whilst awake, if you take your eyes off them for a second they'll definately be doing something that puts them in mortal danger so it's best just to pay at all times, leaving very little room in your brain for dwelling or festering on negativity.
Finally, Eric's need a long walk every day otherwise you spend your evenings with a moansing, whinging dog sitting at your feet barking every few minutes until about midnight. Since getting Eric my daily steps have tripled. You walk further when you're out too because it's so much fun watching him bumble about 
FINALLY the best thing about prescription bassets is their undeniable ability to attract positive attention wherever they go. For some reason, basset induced happiness appears to be infectious and just a single basset in a small community increases happiness for everyone exponentially. I think it's the ears....
Basset hounds are the answer to the depression, obesity cycle. FACT.
they should let me run the NHS.
Are you and your OH trying to lose weight at the same time?
A warning NHS prescription charges will continue until you're 66
