Our Pat Therapy Dog Bailey and Pat Therapy Pony Charm, came walking through the door together this morning. Residents were surprised but also laughing. The pair moved together from resident to resident. Bailey offering warm cuddles and Charm lowering her head for gentle strokes. The staff watched in amazement: not only were the residents engaged, but the two animals had an instant bond.
