Any pet owner will tell you that animals have a calming effect and are good for our health and well being. Many health care facilities such as rehabilitation center, hospitats and nursing homes are taking advantage of this fact and introducing companion animals to help improve social and cognitive function in patients and residents. They offer unconditional love, affection and physical contact for some who otherwise would have very little or none at all. Pets not only provides affectionn and free kissis, but also is an entertainer of sorts.- Story by: Dean Hesse -
