This article discusses the therapeutic effects of having a furry friend during the Covid lockdowns, focusing on the author's experience with their guinea pigs and how they provided companionship and comfort during a time of isolation.
he therapeutic effects of having a furry friend are well documented; many people made the best of being at home during the Covid lockdowns byinto their home. This is where I found myself in the autumn of 2020. I was living alone for the first time, having left the hustle and bustle of London for rural Hertfordshire with my two guinea pigs , Pudding and Popcorn.
When I had moved into my flat, I had envisioned travelling into London regularly to work and see my friends, but the reality could not have been more different. As Covid cases rose, I became increasingly isolated and ended up spending many months without any human company. Pudding and Popcorn were a lifeline. I installed their cage in my living room and allowed them to roam free for most of the day, only shutting them in again when I went to bed.
