How Important is Touch, Really?

I will try to do that! I'm not allowed to take pictures of the residents but I can of my dog :-). He doesn't care! Ha!

lol! That kinda sucks, tho. If it could be advertised and shared I am positive that after seeing what it does for the residents more people would apply to do such things

Not only does your dog not care, I'm sure relishes the attention!

I'm part of a group in our area called Pet Pals. It's a group that trains their volunteers in animal assisted therapy. The animals have to go through a temperament and behavior screening and then pass a vet physical as well. It's actually a pretty large group where I live! It's pretty neat. But, yes, allowing other people to glimpse the good that it does could definitely help!

Oh that is so amazing. Here we just have a few random volunteers, I'm sure there are organizations but not large enough to have appeared on my radar.

My college professor started the organization. I'm not sure how she did it but she made it flourish! It takes a special talent for making something so big last for so long.

Yes it does. And such an honorable mission. Can't wait to hear about your upcoming visits <3
