Imagine spending your days surrounded by nature or binge-watching movies on the couch.

ESA Doctors, an emotional support animal service, is offering a position that's almost too good to be true.

They're hiring a chief of pet flicks to watch animal-themed movies like 'All Dogs Go To Heaven', 'How To Train Your Dragon' and 'Babe A Pig In The City' for 72 hours, and you'll walk away with R18,000 ($1,000).
It’s the perfect job for animal lovers who don’t mind a little movie marathon!
After watching five assigned movies, the winner will need to write a 500- to 1500-word article exploring the relationship between humans and animals.

The article should examine how human and animal characters are emotionally and mentally affected by their relationship, whether through separation or togetherness. For example, think of the heartbreak felt by the Dalmatians' owners in '101 Dalmatians' when they were taken from their home.
Additionally, the winner will discuss the transformation of both human and animal characters from the beginning to the end of each film.
The goal is for ESA Doctors to gain insight into how Hollywood portrays the impact animals have on a person’s mental health.
