Angel Paws Therapy Dogs Spread The Love
On Sunday, the 14th of August, The Village welcomed some very special visitors from Angel Paws Therapy Dogs:
Zingi the Africanas & his handler Tanza; Edgar the Pug & his handler Larissa; Ruby, a Springer Spaniel, & her handler Les and Frankie the black Labrador & his handler Pam.
They spent an absolutely wonderful afternoon interacting with the residents (and even some of their visitors), spreading the joy and love 😊
It’s no secret that pets can contribute to our happiness. Studies show that dogs reduce stress, anxiety and depression. It has also been scientifically proven that Pet Therapy stimulates the release of ‘feel good’ chemicals – thus improving our mood. Well – we can ALL do with lots more of that!
Most of our residents have owned a pet or two before moving to The Village. This day was such a wonderful opportunity for them to pet and connect with well-trained friendly animals once again.
Thank you again to the handlers, Tanza, Larissa, Pam & Les and their doggies, for an entertaining and enjoyable visit.
We hope to see you all again very soon!
