Animal Assisted Therapy...another blog worth noting!

After several months of not posting much, it's time to revamp the blog. Our dog, Azul passed away two weeks ago, and my husband is already searching for a new dog to rehabilitate and/or train. As we've studied more dog training techniques, I've been impressed with the versatility and vast capabilities dogs have, especially assisting in therapy for people. I came across a well-written blog that discusses animals assisting in therapy that you can check out here: http://www.healthyfellow.com. It's a health blog that also covers diet, exercise, and other natural remedies and ways of life. What I love about this blog is that it really has a wealth of information about all kinds of general and specific health and wellness topics, ranging from Alternative Therapies to Women's Health issues. I would like to see more on the website relating to animal health through diet, as I'm sure the author knows a lot about that. In any case, I like what he has to say about how beneficial an animal can be not only in a professional therapy setting, but also as a simple family pet. We'll definitely miss our dog, Azul, as he was a big part of our family, but we look forward to the symbiotic rewards of giving a new dog a home sometime in the future.
