If you’re a pet handler and would like to get training for it to become a therapy animal, Pet Partners of Kansas City is offering everyone the opportunity. They need more therapy pets and handlers to visit hospitals, cancer centers, and schools.

During training, you will be working with a stuffed animal. Julie Goodman of Pet Partners says that they use stuffed animals so that the focus is on handlers, not the pets. Some of the challenges that pet handlers should go through include meeting loud strangers and passing by squeaky toys.

Take note that this training is not limited to dogs. Cats, hamsters, and rats can go through the training.

Zack Skow was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease. He also battled with addiction. Having less than 90 days to live, he set out on a mission to recover with the help of his dogs. Skow started living a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly, and soon enough he was able to recover. The doctors were even surprised.

Skow says that he lets his dogs steer his life. And now, he doesn’t even need a liver transplant to survive. Because of his recovery, Skow commits to improving the lives of animals. Skow then started Marley’s Mutts, a non-profit organization that rescues, trains, and provides homes for death row dogs.

According to Skow, “I really hope people will look into giving a dog a second chance.”

Nubby is a 7-year old chihuahua and he’s born without back legs. He’s a special dog not because of his condition, but because he pays a visit and comforts young patients at the Banner Children’s at Cardon Children’s Medical Center. Most importantly, he helps raise awareness for people who are like him.

Deidre Grafel, Nubby’s owner, says that she plans to reach out to more individuals. At present, Nubby will keep doing what he does to show people that there is nothing wrong about being different.
