I shared my dog with my patients.
He was an exceptional aid for patients who were having issues that involved agoraphobia issues.( I had them walk him through the hospital and then outdoors.
They also knew that they had to get out of bed in order to spend time with him)He was responsible for a woman talking in group one day. She had not uttered a word in 8 months. "I think that Tippy needs to pee"
