Many elderly services organizations dedicate themselves to uniting gentle therapy dogs with pet-loving residents in assisted-living facilities across the nation. The Delta Society (www.deltasociety.org), Pets On Wheels, Therapy Dogs International (www.tdi-dog.org), and others train volunteers and their pets to provide seniors, hospital patients, children, and the cognitively or physically-challenged with the company of dogs.
In doing so, they improve the mental and physical health of all they visit, helping to extend lives and inspire hope.
