Having an emotional support animal offers a lot of benefits. Where people are afraid to build relationships with other humans or going through some trauma, these ESAs helps them in overcoming all of these.

Besides an ESA, generally, having a pet has a number of physical and mental benefits. All of these animals are very unusual and unlikely choices for an ESA but, if they do provide the needed support to their owners.
