Cora recieves a theraputic rub from a staff member today at Mayo.  Think it was "therapy" for both!



Cora made her rounds today at Mayo easing some of the loneliness for those far from home and helping others cope with the fear of life changes.  Therapy dogs have an innate ability to recognize anxiety in humans.  When Cora senses this in someone we are visiting, she will lay pressed against their feet and legs.  One of the responses that person will have, is to reach down and start petting her.  In a matter of minutes, that anxiety level decreases. An amazing form of alternative medicine that comes packaged in fur!

A furry Blessing!

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 !
