You don't even have to own one. Research shows just 5 to 20 minutes interacting with other people's pooches can reduce stress hormones and increase well-being.

Pete Kendzior and his dog Junuh visited students at C-V Ranch earlier this month. TCPP has been providing animal therapy to the students of C-V Ranch since the program's inception in the late 1990's. The feedback from this program has been incredibly heartwarming. In fact, it’s fair to say the students are probably doing as much (if not more) for our volunteers, as our volunteers are doing for them. Pet Partners

"According to Marino, therapy dog visits help to give everyone an emotional reset. This crucial component of the work she does with her dogs was on full display in a fraught environment like Capitol Hill, where emotions are constantly running high."
Thank you for the post suggestion Sharene Garaman, Psy.D. !

Twice a year, Pet Partners and the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council send therapy dog teams to Washington, D.C. to help calm lawmakers on Capitol Hill.
