Chi Chi is now a certified therapy dog. Her story: Chi Chi is a four-year-old Golden Retriever who was found in a trash bag in South Korea. Her four legs were in a bad shape and they needed to be amputated if Chi Chi was to live. Rescuers assumed that the dog was a victim of the dog meat market. Chi Chi wears custom prosthetics.

It’s such a blessing that Chi Chi finally found a loving home. Elizabeth Howell and her family adopted the dog. Her daughter, Megan Howell, says that Chi Chi had become accustomed to her family and that she gets along well with the rest of the dogs in the home.

But Chi Chi did not only survive her situation back in South Korea; she’s also a cancer survivor. Her story inspires people all over the world. Chi Chi has social media accounts where people can learn more about her. Follow her on Instagram: @chichirescuedog

Chi Chi is currently running for the 2018 Her Dog Awards in Phoenix, Arizona. This is a yearly campaign that recognizes hero dogs. Vote for Chi Chi today.

It’s no secret that animals help improve people’s well-being and lives. The Central Minnesota Therapy Animal Association (CMTAA) is one organization that aims to promote bonding between therapy animals and people.

What the CMTAA does is that they visit people in various settings – hospitals, schools, colleges, and more. All of the dogs in the CMTAA are certified therapy dogs. But wait, there’s more… The CMTAA also has a rabbit and two miniature horses!

These therapy animals are brought by the CMTAA team to places that need them. For example, colleges that need some stress relief during finals would benefit from CMTAA. Secretary Georgia Thienes says, “We know that when our dogs are at the hospital or the nursing home or anywhere, they’re healing.”

Iris Polley suffered a car crash in 2007 and since then, she got paralyzed from the waist down. She drove over the posted speed limit. She remembers being angry about something and throwing her phone into the passenger seat. It fell off and when she attempted to grab it, taking her eyes off the road, that’s when the tragedy happened.

Because of the crash, Polley says, “After that, I was a mess for years.” Much of her life involved a lot of physical activity and so the accident left her feeling like her identity was no longer there.

While looking for some companionship after she and her partner separated, she met Denis Hopper, a Netherland dwarf bunny. She says that Denis has a positive effect on those around him. His presence calms those who hold him.

Polley wants Denis to be a certified therapy bunny. As of today, she is in the process of meeting the requirements for Denis’ certification.
