@jimhd, @hazelblumberg, @marylou705, @artscaping, @contentandwell, @gailfaith, @gailg, @magspierce, @artscaping, @v1crew: in various discussions on Connect, you have mentioned the health and therapy benefits animals have had for you. I invite you to share stories and pictures about your experiences where pets have comforted, how you've trained your companions for specific therapeutic roles, and so much more. What special story do you have to share?

Hello @resolve

Thank you for that great story of the healing power of pets to people with all kinds of problems. it sounds as if you have experienced their benefit and they have helped others!

I ran across this story with a reference to Mayo about a therapy dog and thought I should share it.
