Yes you'll make a big difference. Even people who aren't that fond of dogs in general seem to be drawn to them when they are in this kind of a situation. My Sister had a brain tumor and really looked forward to the therapy dog coming in. So much so that she asked to wait to be taken down for some testing just so she could see the dog. Made that much impact. And unlike me my sister really wasn't a dog person at all. Dog's really seem to tune in with people who are ill. It is something to watch. Congratulations! |
