Therapy dogs, love, loss, and grief.  What are the possibilities that these might come together in such a way as to bring joy and healing not only to one person but to many?  I learned about therapy dogs when I sought to find meaning in my grief after the loss of my sister, Karen, to cancer.  I worked with therapy dogs for nearly 25 years as my gift to Karen and in her memory.

I share my stories as well as those from others with whom I worked in two active therapy dog programs for over twenty years. Come and read as I share the tears and the joys of my journey.
