Marie Vaz and her puppy (小狗)walked down the hall of the nursing home and stopped in the doorway of a small room. Inside sat an old lady with a care attendant at her side. “Would she like to see me and my puppy?” Marie decided to try anyway. In 10 years of helping with animal-assisted therapy (治療), she’d seen even the sickest patients enjoy a visit from a furry friend. Marie carried the puppy over to the old lady. The woman reached out towards the dog! Full of excitement, she began smiling and trying to talk. The attendant watched in amazement. This woman had never communicated with anyone. It was like she wasn’t even alive-----until the puppy came to visit.
Around the world sick adults and children fill lonely hospital rooms. They may have an illness or need long-term care. A puppy’s friendly eyes and warm paws may be just what the doctor ordered to encourage them and help them heal.
HOW AAT WORKS
The sick and the old don’t always get the love and attention they need. They may not look good. And they may feel angry or depressed because they have to stay in a hospital. “But the puppies love them,” says Lea Mitchem, an AAT volunteer for more than 13 years. The soft fur of a dog feels safe and enjoyable.
Through monthly visit, therapy dogs put smiles on patients’ face and help them improve their health. The dogs encourage patients to do their exercises and communicate with those around them. AAT volunteers spend one or two hours a month visiting the same hospital or nursing home.
Some dogs are specially trained to work with physical patients. These dogs become part of an exercise program. Simply brushing a dog or throwing a ball to it can help patients gain strength and practice movements.
A DOG IN A HOSPITAL
How can a “dirty” dog come into a clean hospital? Before dogs see patients, the dogs must see a doctor themselves. The doctor checks each animal. It must be healthy, clean and enjoy meeting strangers. Many AAT programs also require the dog and the owner to attend special training classes. More and more doctors now understand the benefits of AAT. Research shows that being with the animal lowers a patient’s blood pressure, heart rate and stress level. Patients will relax and feel better.
AAT COMES TO ASIA
For more than 25 years, organizations in North America have been using dogs to treat people. Now people in Asia are benefiting from the dogs’ “medicine”, too. Dr. Dog is an ATT program that began in Hong Kong. Over 200 dogs visit more than 50 medical facilities in that city alone. And the project has spread to Mainland China and the Philippines.
Around the world AAT dogs are making a difference. Whether they meet physical or emotional needs, they’re helping people heal. And that’s what “Dr. Dog” is all about.
