I just took my husky for the rounds around a hospital. She's incredibly aloof and will sometimes pay attention to the people around her, yet the love they felt for her brightened their day. I think pets in the right circumstances have profound mental health impacts
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoInteresting. Do a lot of hospitals do this? I would bring my dogs (one at a time) to visit people!
- noelsusman 7y agoIt's fairly common. Typically you need to have your dog certified as a therapy dog by somebody like Therapy Dogs International. It's also common for larger hospitals to have a dog or two on staff with a full time handler.
- GhettoMaestro 7y agoThanks. I've always wondered if my ultra-chill dogs could be of use to other people besides myself and my wife. I will check into this.
