After deciding to pick a topic related to animals, we thought about the relationships and attachments they have with people.
"I think that people and animals have a great relationship because a person will always have a friend with them." (Nathan)
Dogs particularly have different close and very special roles with humans:
personal or family pet
guard
seeing eye service
rescue and recovery
police K9 units
drug and bomb sniffing dogs
pet therapy
Pet Therapy is becoming a popular and important role for many animals, especially dogs. We decided to learn about some of the basics of Pet Therapy, and look into some examples of its use in our community.
"I love dogs, they are a man's best friend. They are cute (most of them anyway); friendly and helpful. They're also great friends." (Richard)
