This week, Max had the pleasure of visiting 3 different places! On Monday, he ran a wildly successful kissing booth! On Tuesday and Wednesday, he greeted the residents of Bayshore Health Care Center and Reformed Church Home.

“Dogs love almost everyone without prejudice, and they eliminate the language barrier. Therapy dogs have tremendously reduced high anxiety. Dogs, because of their social nature, often genuinely like people and choose to be around them in addition to their owners/handlers. Often, they are aware of illness and sadness and WANT to provide companionship and comfort; they are both intuitive and compassionate. It is always a joy to see them detect sorrow and watch them lick tears away.

If you are interested in having a Therapy Dog visit at your community, please call 732-566-1112.
