Heroes Get the Blues, Too
THE BRAVE HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, first responders, law enforcement, military, funeral directors and those delivering necessities to hospitals and communities affected by COVID-19 are our new heroes. They’re risking or losing their lives to provide care for us. Some sleep in their cars in hospital parking lots.

NO MATTER WHERE WE DO, there is always something out there that could bring us down. An upper respiratory infection if we hug a sick child, a flu if we shake hands or touch a doorknob, other illnesses if we are bitten by a mosquito, or maybe one of the scary diseases that crop up every few years.

Medical institutions are recognizing the innate abilities dogs have to tune in to humans and their feelings. Cancer centers and behavioral health practices have been perhaps the most visible in animal-assisted therapy.
