Not only do the patients and their families appreciate having Man’s Best Friend visit them, the nurses love and welcome the dogs as well.
I’ve seen the impression these dogs and their handlers make and it’s a life-changing experience for all. Therapy Dogs, Inc. is one of many excellent programs that facilitate bringing this healing, loving experience to hospitals, hospices, skilled nurses facilities and other organizations.
