Come here. What a good boy. Those were words I never expected to hear from my mom when I visited her in hospital. Mom has been sick for a long time now, and SHE often seems sad and tired. I didn't expect to hear her laughing. IT has been a long time since I heard my mom sound so happy, but when I around the corner, I understood everything. Mom had a very unusual visitor, a dog, a regular volunteer at the hospital. Anna was there with her therapy dog, benzo. Anna was kind enough to share her story with me, an animal lover from an early age. Anna has always had a dog or two at home since he was Young. Often just playing with them was enough to help her feel happy and relaxed after a long day. But one day hanna realize that not everyone was lucky enough to have a pet. SHE started thinking, what did SHE do? Could SHE work with her own dogs to help others? Before long, he found the answer. Today, anna and often visit places like hospitals and nursing homes to bring a moment of joy to people who are sick, said, lonely or disabled. Benji has worked as a therapy dog for almost three years. When people are stressed, IT often takes them longer to get Better. A therapy dog helps people feel Better and be less stressed, often just by being there at the hospital. Mom pat benji gave him a snap and even threw a small ball for him to catch. This made her forget that he was sick, if only for a moment. For people like my mom, moments like this are very valuable. SHE always looks forward to my visits, but now he also looks forward to sing anna and benjy again. If i'm lucky enough to have a dog of my own in the future, i'll try to volunteer just like anna and benzo.
