I am a Therapy Animal

Tell us a story about how pet therapy touched your life.
Bringing smiles to others through my therapy dog has helped my healing after losing my husband to ALS

Give us an example of a special interaction between your therapy animal and the person they were visiting.
I remember one patient that seemed pretty withdrawn from her surroundings. I asked if she wanted to pet Pulse, with no response. Pulse made the first move, he nudged her hand. Her eyes flickered a bit and glanced down. She slowly extended her hand and rested it on his head. He reached out to her and she responded, even if briefly.
