What`s a therapy dog??
Sandra
Hi
Sandra, a therapy dog has many uses. Some are used in nursing homes to just
be companions to the elderly. As it has been proven that just being around a
friendly animal, does their health and mental state wonders.
Other dogs
are used for autistic, or mentally handicapped children. These children are
actually harnessed to the dog. They keep them from wandering and getting
into bad situations, and again helps them open up mentally to another living
thing. Some are also used for physically handicapped people to make their
lives easier.
My Sheppard cross Pepsi, (recently turned 14, Woo Hoo! )
was a therapy dog for severely mentally and physically handicapped children.
In a group home setting. Six days of the week these children spent walking
around( that is if they could even walk) in a trance like state. Barely
smiling. Just existing. On the seventh day when Pepsi would come to work
with me. Even the most severe of the children would crack a smile while
hugging her. Most would clap her arrival, and squeal with delight when she
gave them kisses. I have no doubt that she brought some joy into there own
gray, lonely worlds.
Sincerely,
