Cora and I were on vacation for the past month visiting with family back East. But what a pleasant surprise for us when we returned to Mayo to find a sign welcoming Cora. It didn't take but a split second to see that Cora remembered her job as a Caring Canine Therapy dog. Here Cora demonstrates her "visit" with a woman whom was waiting for her friend that was having her treatment. Sometimes it's hard not knowing what going on through the doors to the treatment areas. Cora made the time fly by giving that needed emotional support. So glad we're back to share Cora's Magic!
Today at Mayo the spouse of a patient commented "What a God send you have been for Me "! T he past few week s Cora has been a source of light for her in a dark time . Re flecting back on that makes me realize even more the need and benefits that therapy animals bring to everyone that they encounter. Often times the caregivers hold a lot of emotion and turmoil inside of themselves, watching their loved ones fig ht this disease. Cora has been there for them , providing a few mo ments of relief by helping to ease the stress. It's good to hear the laughter and see the smiles that surface when we arrive. Cora senses their need for calm and as you can see in the picture above, gives a reassuring touch . What a Bles sing !
