A great blog post on the New York Times website describes how Jane E. Brody recognized the therapeutic potential of a five-month-old Havanese puppy that she adopted in 2014. She signed Max up for a six-week therapy-dog training program, and ever since they’ve been helping patients at the local hospital. It’s a beautiful story about sharing with others the wealth of love andcompassion a dog can offer.
