Why do we love dogs?
For many of the people we support they're the only positively loving relationship they've had, a best friend, a companion and a comfort. They give purpose, improve physical and mental health, help people feel safe, connected and much more #traumainformed

“I’m flying. What Owl does.
I wonder how you stop -” when he stopped. BUMP! ~A.A.Milne #FridayFeeling
