"All over the world, major universities are researching the therapeutic value of pets in our society and a number of hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and mental health institutions are employing full-time pet therapists" ~ Betty White, Actress and long-time Animal Activist.
Just by being in Kaya’s presence, people feel reassured and find comfort in her warm and calming energy. Kaya has a great temperament. She is friendly, intelligent and able to perform a variety of tasks. She is very well behaved and becomes incredibly gentle around young children because she is used to being touched by a multitude of unfamiliar people. She is also patient, kind, quiet and at ease in almost all situations.
As a therapy dog Kaya has enhanced the lives of many individuals. She can provide you with a non-judgmental environment, nurturing your ability to love and trust as she shares her unconditional love and affection with you. Some people have benefited simply by being in Kaya’s presence. Research has shown that there is a therapeutic influence between dogs and humans which can help raise a person’s self esteem, lower blood pressure, decrease anxiety, and increase survival rate for heart attack patients. It has also been shown that dogs can help those dealing with terminal illness cope with end of life issues and even provide a sense of emotional stability.
Furthermore Kaya has helped men, women and children overcome their fear of dogs and others have reported feeling comforted and a sense of calm simply by stroking her furry little body. During counselling with Bella, it is your choice if you would like Kaya to contentedly be part of your non-judgmental team.
"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."
~ Milan Kundera
