Digger, an Australian Cattle Dog
Four-year-old Digger graduated last Sunday and is now officially a Saint John Ambulance Therapy Dog.
Since 1992, four-legged Saint John Ambulance volunteers have visited hospitals, retirement residences, and long-term and short-term care facilities across Canada to improve the quality of life for patients - reducing stress, lowering blood pressure, distracting the pain ridden.
Congratulations, Digger!

ReplyDeleteGo Digger! We had, at one time, thought to have our Golden trained as a therapy dog, but never got around to it and now she's gone. These therapy dogs are wonderful critters and help so many people. Love Digger's eye patch!
ReplyDeleteThey do important work. Yes, you go Digger!
ReplyDeleteJe connais ces thérapie animalières qui se pratiquent aussi en France, avec de très bons résultats. Saluons les personnes et les animaux engagés dans cette œuvre à côté humanitaire.
