Meet Nugget, the Emotional Support Skunk

Forget about dogs — the 911 Dispatch center in Knox County, Indiana, has an emotional support skunk. Nugget’s owner, Heather Blaney, says he takes his role as emotional support skunk very seriously. Nugget is also respectful of those around him. As expected, owning a skunk is rare. And no, Nugget isn’t stinky. “He doesn't do much of anything at all while he's here,” Heather told Inside Edition Digital’s Andrea Swindall. “But at the same time, it's comforting to have him.”
