dogs helping people who have dementia

Slavenka posted recently about a program where dogs are training to help people who have dementia. There's a link on her post to a video showing the dogs in training, meeting their humans, and living in their new home.

It looks like a wonderful pilot program. I hope the results are good.

I love that the dogs seems to be having lots of fun in their new homes and seem enthusiastic about doing their tasks.
