Meet Sarge and Frankie, two adorable pigs who are being trained to become therapy animals. They both live in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Officer Webster House. Webster mentors kids in school for the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD). His goal is to get Sarge and Frankie involved in community outreach.

According to Webster’s wife, she didn’t welcome the idea of having the pigs in their home. Eventually, Webster was able to convince her. The entire family has been delighted so far with the pigs’ intelligence and sensitivity to their feelings.

Webster calls him, his family, and the two pigs the “Bacon Response team.”

Question: What are 2 considerations for owning an exotic emotional support animal?

Answer: An owner using an exotic species or breed for an Emotional Support Animal would likely need to address these issues:

• Whether the chosen species or breed presents a health hazard to others (i.e., a poisonous spider or full-blood wolf).
• Whether there is a reasonable need to have that particular type of animal that a more traditional animal such as a dog, cat, or rabbit would not equally fulfill.

Meet Nubby, a 7-year-old long-haired Chihuahua born without back legs. Deidre Grafel is Nubby’s mom. She found him in a parking lot in California. Together, they live a fulfilled life.

Nubby is very special. He provides therapy to patients at Cardon Children’s Medical Center. At the hospital, he offers snuggles and kisses. He also enjoys getting belly rubs.

According to Deidre, Nubby’s presence doesn’t only offer comfort, but it also helps raise awareness for people with special needs like him. Deidre says, “Once we become immune to seeing and hearing and learning about special needs beings being people and pets, then we will be more accepting of them.”

Nubby is one of the therapy dogs at Banner Health. If you wish to volunteer, visit this page for more information.

Ranch Hands Rescue is an animal rescue service based in Texas. It rescues animals so these animals can help people who are victims of trauma.

Just recently, Ranch Hands Rescue adopted a puppy from a local shelter. This puppy was special because she has three legs that don’t work. She’s a 10-month old Basenji mix named Roo.

Bob Williams, Ranch Hands Rescue’s founder, said that Roo would have likely been euthanized. Now, his goal is to help Roo heal, get her prosthetic legs, and undergo 2 months of physical therapy. Currently, the ranch accepts donations for Roo’s prosthetics.

While some people question whether the intervention is worth it, Williams remains optimistic. He believes that animals that are given a chance gain back their dignity.

For years, veteran Brandon Nealeigh searched for a service dog that would help him cope with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Finally, he was able to get a 4-month old puppy named Milly. Milly helps Brandon cope with anxiety and makes him feel comfortable in crowds.

Unfortunately, Milly was stolen from Brandon’s car on a Thursday night while he took his family out for dinner and a movie. Brandon said that he made sure to feed Milly, tuck her in, and lock the car door. But when they came out after the movie, they discovered that someone tampered with the locks and Milly was nowhere to be found.

Brandon and his family began their search for Milly. They offered $1,000 as a reward. Fortunately, Milly had been found late Friday night.

If a service dog without its handler approached you, is it possible that its handler is somewhere and in need of assistance? The answer is yes. Another possibility is that the dog is lost or got away. Whichever situation is true, the best thing you should do is to try to help.

Patricia Hairston of Canines for Service, an organization that trains assistance dogs, says that you should talk to the dog and ask where its owner is. This might sound like a weird advice but remember that service dogs are trained to respond to certain cues. Also, find out who the dog belongs to and contact a medic.
