We often see emotional support animals in settings such as airports and school. But the funeral industry may be starting to embrace their therapeutic benefits.

Meet Mochi, a 9-week old Bernese Mountain Dog puppy. Mochi has still not received therapy dog training, but she will when she reaches 6 months. Currently, she socializes with grieving clients at Macon Funeral Home in North Carolina. She has already won the hearts of visitors!

On its Facebook page, the funeral home posted, “We hope she will become a member of our grief support team and make therapy visits to those in need with her mom, Tori McKay. Stop by and meet her, she loves making new friends! 🖤🐻🤎”

Every year, the number of emotional support animals continues to increase. The main problem is that many airline passengers call their regular pets emotional support animals, just so they can take their pet with them. This is hurting people who are relying on legitimate service animals.

Founder of My Blind Spot Albert Rizzi says that people want to get the benefits of having a disability without actually losing their limbs. Last Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Transportation proposed that only service animals, specially trained dogs, will be allowed in the cabin at no charge. In a briefing with reporters, the transportation department said that these changes are intended to improve safety on flights – because some passengers have been bitten by fake support animals.

Sgt. Ben Rexrode and his wife wanted to have a therapy dog as a way of helping others. Working at the university police department, Rexrode was able to gain approval from their UVa Interim Police Chief.

Finally, they got Cooper, a miniature American shepherd. Cooper underwent training in the ways of canine therapy. He received his therapy dog training at Positive Paws. His job is to help people relax in stressful situations, and it doesn’t matter where he does it – in the office or streets.

Sgt. Rexrode adds that Cooper is always down for a belly rub! UVa Interim Police Chief Timothy J. Longo appreciates the contribution that Sgt. Rexrode made in getting Cooper and ensuring his proper training and certification.

Kathleen Crisley, founder of the Balanced Dog, brought the idea of “doga” Christchurch. These doga classes offer pets and their owners an opportunity to spend quality time together while exercising.

Doga classes may not be as active as playing fetch, but they enable dogs to stretch to wind down – just like Crisley’s dog did. The class attendees are encouraged to bend and twist, and even straddle their dogs to keep them in place. Casey Bell, a yoga instructor, says that the dogs were excited at first but eventually they relaxed!

Are you an anxious traveler? Do you know someone who is? Because Southampton Airport has a new team of four-legged friends, called the Canine Crew, that will calm nervous passengers. Canine Crew’s presence will be semi-permanent.

Head of Passenger Operations Simon Young says that these therapy dogs will not only be able to help passengers, but also the airport staff. The Ops team also mentions that the simple act of stroking a dog can lower heart rate and blood pressure. Passengers who are about to step foot on a plane will feel a sense of calm.

Dogs never fail to amaze us! One of the reasons why dogs are awesome is that they have the ability to know that something is going to happen. In this short article, we’re going to list three things that dogs can sense before they take place. You’ll be surprised.

1. Earthquakes and storms – Dogs can forecast an earthquake because of the electrical signal produced by the movement of rocks beneath the earth. They can also sense rain from miles away.

2. Diseases in humans – Dogs can detect diseases such as cancer (even at its early stage), diabetes, parkinson’s disease, and epileptic seizures – thanks to their sense of smell.

3. Labor – When a dog lives closely with its pregnant owner, it can sense emotional changes that predict labor. Your dog will also be able to pick up changes in your body that you may not notice, such as shifts in your hormones.

There’s a new comedy series on Netflix, and it’s not your typical comedy. It tells the story of an 11-year-old boy named Noah Ferris who struggles with social anxiety. But what helps him cope with his experiences in middle school is his emotional support dog Dude.

The actor, Mauricio Lara, who played Noah’s friend says that because of the show, he realized how vital it is to have a support system. Appreciating support dogs, he says, “It can’t not be fun being with a puppy all day.” He also adds that he hopes the show increases people’s awareness of social anxiety disorder in kids.
