Bonding!

The animal-human bond is a mutually beneficial relationship between species that is essential to the health and well being of both.  Emotional, psychological and physical interactions are maximized by a Therapy Dog visit.  We know for a fact that this interaction reduces stress and anxiety, decreases blood pressure and provides an overall good feeling.  Here Cora spends some quality time visiting with friends.

Commitment of a Therapy Dog

Arizona is brutal when temps climb to 110 degrees.  But Cora is fashionably dressed in her cooling collar and protective socks on her paws. The picture below is why we make the effort, even in our own discomfort with weather. Therapy dogs bring a "breeze of comfort" to our friends in treatment at Mayo.  Cancer doesn't take a summer vacation.  Being a Caring Canine is a commitment regardless of the weather.
