It was a good day today visiting our friends at Mayo. Cora was excited to be with familiar faces and even happier to show off what a Therapy dog can bring into a small corner of a medical center. Two bell ringings today, symbolizing the last day of treatment and the beginning of new horizons. Cora quickly grabbed the tissue box for one courageous woman who rang that bell proudly. Our gentlemen friend thanked us for being there during the times his wife sat waiting. Hugs, goodbyes and very positive outlooks on their faces. Cora waved goodbye with her paw but quickly turned her attention to the next group of people arriving. She knows so well that adding some comfort and laughter to the group is her job. Therapy dogs help to bring a smile, laughter or just a comforting touch, all adding to a person's ability to form positive outlooks on life.
