| Today at Mayo the spouse of a patient commented "What a God send you have been for Me"! The past few weeks Cora has been a source of light for her in a dark time. Reflecting 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 fight this disease. Cora has been there for them, providing a few moments 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 Blessing! |
Cora is a Therapy dog. Her job as a volunteer with the Mayo Clinic's Caring Canines program is to bring a smile to those who need some happiness in their day.
