ANIMALS AT YOUR SERVICE Many pet owners claim that their pets not only make them happier but also keep them healthier. Now researchers have found convincing evidence that contact with an animal can indeed reduce stress, improve mood, and even help people recover from illness more quickly. Following these findings, animals are now being used to help hospital patients. A growing number of organizations are asking volunteers to bring their well-trained pets to hospitals, so that patients can hold, cuddle and stroke them. While the most popular animals are dogs, other popular pets are rabbits, cats and parrots. The pets chosen for the program must have the right personality, including the ability to adjust quickly to new environments. They are trained to remain calm in the difficult situations they will encounter in hospitals, such as moving through crowded corridors or being held by strangers. Qualified therapists work together with highly-trained animals as part of the medical team at the hospitals. In this type of therapy, the animal plays a specific role in the treatment, such as providing a distraction (something else to think about) during an unpleasant medical procedure. Most of the work focuses on children, however, recovering adults enjoy the contact with these animals too. Both volunteers and professional therapists report that most animals seem to enjoy the activity just as much as their "clients" do.
