Have you heard of animal therapy? Animal therapy, also called pet therapy, is a form of therapy where a person with a mental health issue get support from an animal. That animal can be a dog, cat, horse, or fish!

Various mental health problems benefit from animal therapy. They include but are not limited to Anxiety, Depression, Agoraphobia, and more. Children and adults alike can use animal therapy!

Picture this out: Let’s say a patient lacks trust in his surroundings and often feels anxious. Having an animal beside him allows him to cope. The animal will provide psychological and physical stimulation such as encouraging the person to play, walk, go outside, and care for it. As a result, the person’s overall well-being improves.

Bryan Purifoy and his wife LeeAnn were supposed to have a wonderful evening at the Burgundy Hotel, when the hotel receptionist denied them a room. The reason? The couple brought their service dog named Jax, a collie shepherd.

Bryan says that he is frustrated and that he is allowed to go on a date night just like everybody else. The couple expressed they don’t want money or room. All they request is a simple apology from the receptionist.

Post-traumatic stress disorder affects the lives of about 20% of veterans who have served in operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom. And while service dogs are not considered a cure for PTSD, they empower veterans by serving as a tool that helps overcome the disorder.

K9s for Warriors, a charity and provider of service dogs for disabled American veterans, shares a research study released by Purdue University in 2018. It revealed how veterans with PTSD were able to mentally benefit from service dogs. They had less anger, less anxiety, and better sleep.

Veterans who want to apply for a service dog should provide documentation proving that they have been diagnosed with PTSD. Furthermore, they need to undergo interviews with service dog providers, criminal background checks, and a training course.

Some airlines tend to be very discriminatory against dogs that assist people with disabilities. For example, Air New Zealand doesn’t allow psychological or emotional assistance dogs unless they are headed to the United States. And these dogs are allowed in the cabin.

Kotuku Foundation Assistance Animals Aotearoa founder Merenia Donne says that all commercial airlines have their own rules that are inconsistent.

As a result, the charity has launched a program called Canines in Cabins. This program trains dogs to gain experience on commercial flights and small planes. According to Donne, they want to have a program that all airlines recognize and also assures that dogs are going to be safe and comfortable with their handlers while in flights.

Samantha McAtee, the Director of School Counseling at Twin Lakes High School, believes in the help that therapy dogs can provide to students. She says that it’s been years since she wanted to have a therapy dog and she’s currently working on it.

According to McAtee, a therapy dog helps students interact, empathize, and solve problems. Yet, the school board is having a concern about how having one would improve a student’s emotional and social learning.

One high school survey revealed that 82% feel that a therapy dog reduces stress, anxiety, and depression. 78.9% feel that the school would benefit from it.
