The Therapeutic Benefits of Dogs and Healing Through Companionship
Research suggests that pets can have a therapeutic effect on humans. Dogs have been used to aid in recovery from emotional and physical trauma, assist with physical and occupational therapies, improve reading scores in children with learning disabilities, and improve the quality of life for residential patients. Dogs have been linked to positive changes in mood, self esteem, & even blood pressure. Just the touch of a dog along can sometimes make us feel a little bit better.
