Colby Love, 18, hugs his dog Luna after letting her back into the house, Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019, at his home in Bethel Park. "She was my reason for getting up a lot of the days," Love says, reflecting on a year ago when his depression, anxiety and overall mental health took a steep decline. "Sometimes like, even when I let her outside and it’s snowing and she’s just like staring at the snow, or playing around in it, I’m just like, it’s so pure and so adorable. Like how can you not love that," laughs Love.
