Nurse battling anxiety and depression tells how her symptoms have eased thanks to pet SKUNK

A nurse battling anxiety and depression for many years has told how her symptoms have eased dramatically - thanks to her pet SKUNK. Paula Bavill, 46, was previously unable to attend large gatherings and events with confined crowds because of crippling mental health issues she had suffered from for a decade. She purchased Pongo two years ago but didn't know at the time her four-legged furry friend would end up changing her life forever. Paula can now often be seen walking around in public with Pongo in a pouch on her chest or plodding along attached to a lead at her feet.
