Canine Friends Pet Therapy is a New Zealand-wide network of people who share their friendly well behaved dogs with other people patients in hospitals and residents in rest homes and hospices.
Pet therapy usually helps people in care who may be feeling isolated with a furry head laid on a knee, the touch of a dog's silky coat, someone to listen, reminders of happier times.
Pet therapy works on many levels to make unwell people feel
reconnected to the world.
