Your story is very inspirational.
I have a dog who suffers from separation anxiety disorder. It's strange, but I can really relate to my dog's anxiety, in a way my parents cannot. I've asked for him to go on Clomipramizine (Clomicalm) but they don't think it's necessary.
I think you would find it rewarding to visit an animal shelter and volunteer their to walk dogs. It really helped me find a lot about myself when I started, because you begin to realize a lot of our suffering is universally endured through other animals. And they can pick up on your problems too, as is evident from the dogs during 9/11 that were trained to seek out rescue workers that showed signs of distress. The dogs looked for these people, and offered their affection.
Such subtle bonds we find before despair
Through the sanction of a friend,
found at the snapping of the leash we extend
will let us bear the burden we all share
