MD Anderson – Orlando’s pet therapy dogs helped make Valentine’s Day extra special for cancer patients today.

The 2nd annual Puppy Love Parade through MD Anderson – Orlando was led by the pet therapy teams including the 4-legged favorites Tori, Gracie, Simba, Tab, Banner, Connor and Conrad who donned Valentine themed bandanas and bowties for the occasion.

The pooches, including Conrad, a black lab who is a cancer survivor himself, brought Valentine’s love to patients waiting for appointments, undergoing chemotherapy and currently receiving treatment in the cancer hospital.

  1. I think that pets are an excellent idea for helping people with certain diseases and that they are excellent companions. Pets should be used as therapy whenever possible, unfortunately sometimes senior citizens and other patients cannot take care of a live animal. This is when virtual companions are very useful and there are some that can really help.
    The GeriJoy Companion improves quality of life for seniors and connects and engages families.
    It is a software service that takes the form of an intelligent pet inside a tablet device (iOS or Android). It does not require any technical skills, because the patent-pending technology creates the experience of interacting with a live animal. Available on-screen 24/7, the pet reacts realistically to touch and care, providing the proven health benefits of pet therapy even for seniors who are not able to care for a live animal.

  2. Besides financial consultations, consultations on the same psychological wellbeing are equally relevant today. And it impacts your future directly. And, generally speaking, it can also discourage you from properly evaluating your strength and developing a career, which already leads to bad outcomes. This is why I suggest to apply for the online text therapy and you will arrange all things and begin to grow a career with wisdom, based on inner thoughts, intuition and so on. Often the most effective is this kind of company, I understand it with my example.
