DOGS HELPING PEOPLE

Dogs are popular pets. Most dogs simply live with their families, but some dogs have special jobs to do. Some dogs help police to find criminals. Others are trained to find drugs or explosives. Some dogs help people who cannot see, hear or move without help. Some dogs can even understand when their owner is going to be ill. They signal that the person needs to lie down and be calm. Dogs that help their owners are called “Assistance Dogs.”

Some dogs are called “Therapy Dogs.” These dogs are family pets with special training. Some therapy dogs go into hospitals and nursing homes. The patients that the dogs visit feel better because the dogs create a more cheerful environment. Therapy dogs can also improve people’s health. Studies show that when people suffering from stress are with animals their blood pressure goes down. They are calmer and feel happier.

Other therapy dogs work in schools and libraries. They are friends with children, but they can also do more. In one town in California, therapy dogs have become a reading audience for children. The dogs are part of a therapy dog group called ‘PAWS for Healing’. Eight of these special dogs are trained to be listening companions for young readers because the local library is trying to get children to read more. The children are invited to meet at the library and are put with a ‘PAWS’ therapy dog. Then they can read to the dog.

Dogs are a great audience for children. They don’t judge a child who cannot read well but only listen calmly. The children can read at any speed they want. Reading in this way is not as frightening for them as reading in front of adults or in front of their class. Reading in front of their school friends sometimes makes children nervous. The dogs are always quiet and attentive. They listen very well. These therapy dogs are making a difference in the life of the children. The children like to read to the dogs, and the dogs love the attention. The library and local teachers are very happy with the programme and they think it is successful.

Dogs are popular pets in every country in the world.

Dogs that help people who cannot see or hear well are known as “Assistance Dogs”.

Therapy dogs that visit hospitals usually have no special training.

The library in the town in California is trying to encourage children to read.

After reading to the dogs, the children can always read well.
