| Wow, Mayo is celebrating 150 year Anniversary. Can you imagine, all the benefits that animal assisted therapy could bring in that time frame! Programs are growing all over the country in hospitals, schools, reading programs, assisted living communities, hospice care and many other programs where it is now a documented fact that these animal play a vital role in healing and comfort. The push is on for more interaction with therapy animals! |
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 !
