The Real Mr Beasley

He will be trained to provide affection and comfort to people in hospitals, retirement homes, nursing homes, schools, people with learning difficulties, and stressful situations, such as disaster areas. Beasley is friendly, patient, confident, gentle, and is learning to... be ease in all situations. He enjoys human contact and is content being a pet. A therapy dog's primary job is to allow unfamil

iar people to make physical contact with it and to enjoy that contact. Children in particular enjoy hugging animals; adults usually enjoy simply petting the dog. The dog might need to be lifted onto, or climb onto, an individual's lap or bed and sit or lie comfortably there. Many dogs contribute to the visiting experience by performing small tricks for their audience or by playing carefully structured games.
