Meet JJ, the hospice therapy dog. She does a lot of bed visits but often with her mommy who happens to be a nurse at the hospice. Today, this particular visit rather touched JJ into doing something special for her patient. You see, she’s very old, blind and doesn’t get that many visitors so she made sure that she knew she was there for her!
When we’re old, family & friends become the most precious things in the world for us. When they are all gone, life seems to stand still and suddenly has no meaning; truly a very lonely road. We miss the warmth of a touch which tells us how much we mean to others. That’s what JJ did for this old woman.
She made sure she felt her warm fur and her tongue licking her hand. She even slept beside her. JJ showed her she cared for her and that she meant something to her. In that short time, she made sure her life became meaningful. Share this with others and who knows, someone lonely might be inspired to adopt or rescue a dog who will fill their lives with purpose and meaning too!
