  • There are many reasons why dogs are known as man's best friend.
  • They can help lead the blind, warm a home, or even help children who are hospitalized.
  • Hi, I'm Pamela with WatchMojo.com, and today we're speaking with Helen Magdalinos, a child life specialist at the Montreal Children's Hospital, about puppy love and the benefits of pet therapy.
  • What exactly is pet therapy?
  • Pet therapy is a program that was developed here in 2002, where a dog comes into the hospital once a week and spends time with our patients and families.
  • What are some of the benefits of having patients interact with dogs?
  • There are multiple benefits, depending on the child.
  • For some children, it's doing physical activity.
  • Kids who have a hard time getting out of bed, motivation to go see a dog, gets them up and going into the pet therapy room.
  • Also, the tactile senses of petting a dog and playing with a dog are very important, and there are multiple other benefits.
  • They're very individual to each child.
  • How are the dogs in this program selected?
  • The dogs are selected with Zootherapie Québec.
  • They're the people who do the selection process and make sure that the dog is appropriate to work with children.
  • They make sure that they're healthy enough and have all their medical exams done before they're integrated into our program here.
  • How often do the dogs come and visit patients here?
  • It's every Wednesday, and there's a schedule, so children can select to either stay for half an hour or an hour, and sometimes we actually do group activities, so we can pair a couple of children up together.
  • In your experience, what kind of reception do the dogs get from patients?
  • Usually, it's amazing.
  • Actually, it's always amazing.
  • As soon as they come into the room, their face lights up, they're excited.
  • Initially, they kind of think it's a toy dog.
  • They get closer, and they're just overwhelmed by what they see.
  • Oftentimes, kids who stay here for a longer time, they look forward to every Wednesday because they know the dog is coming and they can do something, so that's also another benefit to having the program every Wednesday.
  • And is there anything else that you'd like to add?
  • Pet therapy is an amazing program.
  • Our families love it, and we've never had anybody have something negative to say.
  • It's always a positive experience, and it's nice because it's something that the parents can choose to be a part of, and the children, obviously, and when they choose to be a part of it, it's always successful.
  • Thank you very much.
  • Thank you.
