Therapy dogs come in all sizes, shapes and colors. No one breed performs better than another. The one thing that makes a good Therapy dog is the relationship between the handler and dog. I am blessed to have that type of relationship with Cora. Together as a team we work as "one" bringing smiles and laughter to those in need of comfort. This in turn has been found to lower blood pressure, steady breathing, reduce levels of stress hormones and increase the levels of calming hormones.
Animal Assisted Activity and Therapy definitely has a place in healing an individuals physical and mental state. Go Cora, bring on that smile and charm!
