AUGUST MEETING: ST. JOHN AMBULANCE'S THERAPY DOGS

At our August general meeting, we had the St. John Ambulance Therapy Dogs join us. SOS Niagara would like to thank Denis Dallaire and all the four-legged guests and their handlers for providing joy and comfort to everyone in attendance.

The program originally began in June of 1992 in Peterborough, Ontario. The St. John Ambulance Therapy Dog Program brings the benefits of pet companionship to both children and adults that are hospitalized, adults residing in long term care facilities, children struggling with reading, adult and child victims of trauma and crime, students stressed from school challenges and individuals in homeless shelters.
