Got my pet therapy at work today.
One of our former residents had 2 daughters that still visit regularly. The Friday daughter lives in the country and has a whole family of dogs - maybe she breeds them?
Anyway, Friday is the dog visit day, and when the dogs know it's their turn they are excited all day. They come and visit their favourite residents, and it's touching when they search for those who are no longer with us.
Some dogs are trained as pet therapy dogs, and they visit also, but those dogs are just natural therapy dogs.
After this picture, I sat down at the computer for data entry time - but Bailey decided I wasn't done with the pet therapy.
