PAT Dogs

The name of the organisation PAT Dogs stands for ‘Pets As Therapy’. The main activity of the PAT owner is to take his or her dog to visit children and the elderly, in homes and hospitals. A regular weekly visit by a dog that has been chosen for its suitable temperament has produced very rewarding results in many cases. Old people look forward to the visits, save treats for the dogs and discuss the animal with their fellow residents. The staff of various homes and hospitals confirm how this simple remedy has made many people much happier in old age.
