Buc is a 5-year-old miniature horse at Nemours Children’s Specialty Care. Buc is new, and he was rescued by Dale Dunn and Chris Dunn with Pet Partners of North Florida. When Buc first arrived, he was being cared for 24/7 since he was badly injured. Now, he brings smiles to children and their families at Nemours.

According to Jennifer Pfieffer, a nurse manager who has done animal assistant work for 10 years, “Buc shows that you don’t have to be a shiny penny to be loved.” She says that animals have an amazing ability to heal people and that they can lower people’s heart rate and blood pressure.

Ever heard of Mountain Horse Farm? It’s a 33-acre break and breakfast retreat center situated in the Finger Lakes region of New York. You’ll find Bella and Bonnie there – two pet highland cows who would love to cuddle with you.

Providing animal-based therapy, Bella and Bonnie were purchased by Mr. and Ms. Vullers – the co-owners of Mountain Horse Farm who traded their corporate lives to set up their farm. While neither of them has a psychology degree, they can read the cows’ moods to make sure that people can interact with them safely. Their number one advice to everyone is to stay calm when around the cows since they can sense emotions.

Each 60-minute session for two persons costs $75. To learn more about Mountain Horse Farm and their founders, visit their website.

On July 7, a special event was held where hundreds of bikers participated in. It was a ride for a cause, the 16th annual Hogs for Dogs benefit ride, held at Denney’s Harley-Davidson. The purpose of the ride was to raise money for no-kill animal shelter ​Castaway Animals Rescue Effort (CARE).

One of the riders was Rod Petersen and his dog, Stingray. Petersen and Stingray have been together for over 12 years. Petersen calls Stingray his pro bike companion. Stingray isn’t just a regular dog, but she has also been trained to be a service dog. She senses drops in Petersen’s blood sugar and when he gets stressed out.

The Hogs for Dogs benefit ride raised awareness of animal homelessness. Hopefully, the event is able to raise $33,000 as it did in 2018.

Some people cannot handle the idea of dog euthanasia because of chronic pain. Rob Landry, a veterinary pain specialist at the Colorado Center for Animal Pain Management & Rehabilitation, is sick of it too.

That is why he teamed up with a neuroscientist named Linda Watkins. Watkins invented a gene therapy, in the form of a one-time injection, that helps in the production of anti-inflammatory cytokine.

Shane, a dog that suffers from chronic pain, was able to benefit from the therapy. 8 years ago, Shane was in a car accident, and because of that, he could not go to the bathroom for longer than 5 minutes. He received the treatment and the result was amazing.
