How do animals help heal their masters in a canadian hospital

XENIA

The programme Zachary”s Paws for Healing hospital Juravinski in Ontario allowed to visit seriously ill pet owners. The program launched Donna Jenkins, inspired by the example of his 25-year-old nephew Zachary, who has benefited from the presence of his faithful dog, when he fought Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

When Zachary began to beg that he be allowed to see his dog chase it for a few weeks in hospital and was very weak after the transplant of stem cells , said Jenkins.

We smuggled the chase in the ICU. The result was incredible. When Zachary realized that he will not be able to overcome the cancer, he made me promise to organize this program .

When patients see their Pets, the main indicators of the condition of their body improve. It also helps them cope with depression and loneliness .

Visits Pets remind patients why they should recover and return home .

For a time they forget about the hospital and their illness .

Pets can come for an hour once a week. All the animals are thoroughly washed prior to the visit and in the hospital do not admit to other patients.

Of course, no one actually does not follow the time. The main thing to visit was favorable .

Pets are happy to see their owners and calm down, when you realize that they are not abandoned .
