Puppy Therapy


--by irongrace, posted Aug 16, 2008

Just two days ago my brother brought home his 6 month old puppy to stay with me and my parents for a while. My mom thought it might be a good thing for me since because I don't get out a lot in the winter due to a disability, which makes me allergic to the cold.

It has helped me a lot because instead of being home alone now I have a dog to take care of and play with.  I want to say thank you to everyone that trains dogs for therapy.

They say sometimes they crave for more as all their miseries go away in the presence of the love between them and their dogs. Thank u for sharing ur sweet story. God Bless U
