Therapy Dogs Working ICU Miracles!

PUPPY love may be the cuddliest and most effective cure of all, according to professionals at Johns Hopkins Hospital, where therapy dogs are making a big difference to the critically ill.

Specially trained pups have long been used to lift the spirits of patients, but they’ve rarely been utilized in intensive care units.

But at Johns Hopkins, they’ve discovered dogs can greatly ease the physical and emotional conditions of even the sickest patients, helping them to become more engaged and speeding the rate of their recovery.
