We are so glad to have our two dogs involved as therapy dogs in Cleveland Missouri. They bring joy to so many. We are still looking for other locations to visit.
What I find interesting about this is that you can actually ignore all the warm and fuzzies of it (if you were able to)... and focus purely on the cold, hard medical science... and this still makes perfect sense. Those dogs are decreasing stress, supporting mental health in trying circumstances, and statistically at would seem, helping people to heal and recover more quickly. From a scientific perspective, this is perfectly valid medical practice. That girl is better off, medically speaking, because that dog comes around to see her and hang out with her. As far as I am concerned, therapy dogs should be standard policy in hospitals. The rule, not the exception. I knew a cardiologist that always had his Lab around his office. Ever see the data on heart disease, recovery from heart surgery, etc. on people with dogs vs. without? Fascinating. Dogs and humans... we have this... thing. The short version is, many of us benefit greatly just from having dogs around. As a species, we may as well just roll with that... it works. And knowing a few Goldens... I'd wager my last dollar these dogs LOVE their jobs.
My question is why doesn’t that one girl who’s in a lot of pain get a service dog to help her. But not only that but to bring her joy so she doesn’t have to wait for a dog that’s everyone’s
They are truly Human kinds best friends!

Concentrate of love. Dogs have a natural instinct of protection for children
Such an amazing therapy dog ❤️
Puppies are the cure for cancer!

Some animals are stubborn but at times can be this when you train them

I would like to train my dog to become a service dog!! Is there a certain place near Cincy I could go ??
Karina Castillo what disabilities do you have that you need it for?
You must be disabled to have a service dog.
i belive karina meant to say a healing dog, to help patients.
