Continued from Page 9 Ruth states, “Therapy Dog work exposes you to different populations. Children with disabilities. People with cancer. Bessie is so calm and giving. Her nature makes me a better person. It makes me more patient and understanding. She has taught me to be more tolerant and understanding of other people.” For Ruth, the hardest thing about therapy dog work is “We can’t do everything that we want to do. There are so many people at different facilities that definitely want therapy dogs to visit. We just can’t go to all the places we would like to visit. More teams are needed. “
