Learn about Animal-Assisted Therapy at Advocate Children's Hospital through the eyes of a 3-year-old Portuguese Water Dog named Marco!
Animals serve to encourage patients to participate in interactions, thus aiding in physical (as well as emotional) recovery. By playing with, petting and learning about the dogs, patients may get motivated to return to normal behaviors and activities.
The playful animals may also motivate and stimulate physically handicapped children, while also providing social skills for patients on the unit.
Although the dogs that visit vary from week to week, all are vaccinated and have gone through special training to become certified therapy dogs. Marco is one of our regulars from Rainbow Animal Assisted Therapy and is a crowd favorite - you'll see why!
