Mara (my rescue dog) and I visited an elderly lady with Alzheimers so she could cuddle and spend some time with Mara. This lady is a massive dog lover, had dogs all her life but can no longer have one herself. Her daughter felt that it would be comforting to have some time with a dog and she may try to recall memories of her dogs. The look on her face throughout was magical. Anyway, Mara behaved herself, the lady loved the visit really engaged with Mara and the experience was good for her short term memory loss. We are now returning for weekly visits!
