I bet there would be a lot of people very interested in discussing and exploring pets and animals from a therapeutic point of view.
Animals can do so much for us physiologically, emotionally and socially. Sometimes they will even be able to tell us things about ourselves and our bodies that we may not know.
Pets can be therapeutic with out being official assistance or therapy animals.
It would be neat if we had maybe a social group for this. If you talk it up JD and express the PoV with individuals who you know have pets or service animals I'm sure they would check it out. I would quit a bit. Discussing the process of making an animal a declared assistance animal or getting a trained assistance animal for various reasons would be interesting. As would sharing various sources of information and general questions and ideas.
I know it is called a social group, but you would be able to express the intention of the group and gear discussions in that direction (I mean as far as I understand?).
Something to think about?
