National Therapy Animal Day was created by Pet Partners to recognize all of the exceptional therapy animals who partner with their human companions to bring comfort and healing to those in need. Therapy animals can be dogs, cats, birds, horses, and many other kinds of animals. Therapy animal teams help people of all ages in a variety of different settings including libraries, hospitals, schools, and nursing homes.

Isis and I, with her wearing her purple Therapy Dog vest & me wearing my purple shirt; we match! But no, that wasn't intentional, just a happy coincidence LOL! |
* Recognize
and honor therapy animals
* Raise
awareness and educate the public about the role therapy animals play in
enhancing the health and well being of humans
* Honor
the thousands of dedicated handlers (the human half of a therapy animal team)
who volunteer their time and compassion during visits

As you can see, Isis thoroughly enjoys the children's reading program at the library! |
Thank you Isis, my sweet girl, for volunteering side by side with me to help others. It's the most rewarding thing I've ever had the pleasure of doing, and I couldn't do it without you! I love you to the moon and back!!
