I so believe animals can help heal. I went out to get the mail about 12 yrs ago while going through interferon treatments which is a form of chemo and in the middle of the street was a dog sitting there watching me. He was skinny and had a few wounds so I called him over and he came. While I was petting him he had the biggest smile on his face. Took him inside and him and our other dog hit it off. Feed him gave him a bath and went to the feed store to get meds for his wounds. He is still with me today. He made what I was going through so much easier because my husband had to work so it was me and the doggos..

My pets have ALWAYS been so helpful in managing my discomfort so I am not at all surprised to read this.
