(1992) KWN "TAILS OF LOVE - The Pet Therapy Program".mp4

Get the tissues ready for this one. Although made a few years ago by a group of young New York primary school kids I like how they have approached this topic. While on placement I got to visit a couple of nursing homes with a therapy dog and got to see first hand the joy he brought them for that 10-15 minutes he spent in their company. Most had had dogs in their lives at some stage and were eager to share stories about that pet, and it opened up conversation for many other topics. I know that other animals are used on visits, the nursing home had two resident cats and a rabbit that visited regularly. We have to remember that not everyone is a dog person!
