"What do you want to say to someone battling depression," Sapphie's owner asked. The pup quickly hit the "hug" button. Her owner then asked, "Is there anything else you want to tell them?" Sapphie then hit the button that says, "I'm here" and "I love you." She then got down on the floor looking adorably concerned. The pup's owner added some symptoms of depression on top of the video to help bring awareness and open dialogue to the topic.
