Elise Fero never experienced a normal life. For people like her, anxiety, depression, and discrimination were part of her daily life. But during times of hardship, she always found herself in the company of animals.

As she said, “When my head was shaking and the world screamed at me, my dog Peanut would sit with me and lick my tears away— a comfort I couldn’t attain from people, a connection that was completely made of love and support, held together with no judgement or hate.”

She asked other people who experienced the same situation like hers and found that the best way to cope with the condition was to get an emotional support animal or ESA. That’s when she and Winnie met, a shelter cat that quickly learned how to provide support for Elise’s emotional needs. Now, she has found a new purpose in life – to keep on living and provide a good life to herself and Winnie.

Are you stressed by the pandemic? Or has the new normal made you feel under the weather? Riding on horseback might be the joyride you need but didn’t know. In this experience, you’re literally trading pedestrian living for a four-hooved adventure.

Toronto Equestrian Downtown is the only riding school in Toronto and those who come are bound to enjoy three more suggested scenic routes: Trickle Creek Farms in Millbrook, Pathways on Pleasure Valley in Uxbridge, and The Ranch in Oakville.

As Vicky Shaughnessy, a Toronto-based art director said, “Being able to go out in the fresh air in the company of an animal is therapeutic.” And it’s even more therapeutic because horses are also used as therapy animals. Find the Toronto Equestrian at the Horse Palace in Exhibition Place.

A bill is currently in the Senate which would give the Office of Veterans Affairs (VA) millions of dollars. The Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers Bill or PAWS Bill will help the VA connect veterans who suffer from PTSD with animals.

Previously, the VA only provided funding for service dogs to veterans who have been disabled on the line of duty. Not much was done for the service members with PTSD because the VA didn’t acknowledge the benefits of emotional support animals in treating PTSD.

The bill has earned massive approval from animal rights activists, especially for disabled veteran advocates. This is all thanks to Congresswoman Deb Fischer of Nebraska for bringing the legislation to the floor.

The DIA’s Canine Airport Therapy Squad otherwise known as CATS started in 2015 for the purpose of bringing travelers comfort and happiness. Air travel can be stressful but as Volunteer Program Manager Karla Grahn said, “Dogs bring out the best in people. They relax people. They bring a smile. Dogs know when somebody needs a little extra love.”

This proved to be true when a woman hugged Nelson the Newfoundland and wept for 20 minutes. Nelson forced his owner Ron Horn to walk over to the woman after seeing her glassy-eyed but Ron didn’t want to approach the lady. Later, Ron found out that the woman was stressed by fear of the person she was going to visit die before she arrived.

Since the pandemic, the program has been shut down but will resume operations on thanksgiving week following safety protocols.

Owensboro Innovation Middle School uses dogs as part of their program in teaching children how to read fluently and learn public speaking skills. One of the pups in the program is Charlie Sue, a Doberman Pinscher. Charlie is also one of the dogs that received an extra certification which allows her to help students under the Reading Education Assistance Dog (READ) program.

While Charlie works on Fridays, she can be seen wagging her tail and comforting the students making the reading experience more fun. “They are just there to listen, and it’s been proven to show that when there is a dog involved, the kids feel more comfortable and thrive,” said Meggan Clark, Charlie’s owner, trainer, and SPED teacher at iMiddle.

To own a pet and care for it wholeheartedly is expensive. With COVID-19 still affecting the daily lives of people around the world, the struggle of caring for a four-legged family member is even harder. Veterinary clinics are also operating at a limited capacity. Wellness services such as vaccines and flea medications are less accessible to customers in need.

The good news is, The Little Lion Foundation, a non-profit based in Long Beach offered a free, community pet wellness clinic last Saturday, March 13. They intend to continue the program but are in need of monetary donations. Interested in helping struggling people from the Long Beach area take care of their pets? Donate any extra money you have by clicking this link.

Luna is part of the NHL Arizona Coyotes roster and is a 14-week-old black Labrador. She became family when Cole Cook, vice president of strategy and business intelligence for the Coyotes, and his girlfriend, Allie, decided to foster Luna.

Cook said, “The previous foundation director at the Coyotes kind of floated this idea around the office if somebody would be willing to foster a dog that would be a service dog and then eventually have it be transitioned to a veteran and nobody in the office was really too eager to do it.”

Cole and Allie made it a reality. Now, the NHL team has partnered with the National Assistance Dogs Inc. (NADI). This is a Phoenix-based foundation with a mission of pairing dogs with veterans and first-responders with mobility issues and post-traumatic challenges. Luna has recently graduated and the NADI will soon pair her with a veteran in need based on her personality type.
