Labrador Retrievers Make Good Therapists

In recent articles, a licensed professional counselor with thirty years of experience, explained how owning a Labrador retriever can help produce healthier, happier, more well adjusted children and seniors.

Dogs boost children’s confidence and self-esteem.  “For many children whose nurturing has been faulty, taking care of an animal can interrupt the cycle of abuse repeating itself over generations,’’ said  Dr.  Samuel Ross, Executive Director of Green Chimney’s Children’s Services in Brewster, New York,  “They can learn to be care-givers, even if they haven’t been well cared for themselves.’’  Children who were regularly given the opportunity to care for a puppy at their preschool, as well as those with dogs at home were found more socially competent. They were more popular, felt better about themselves and were better able to understand other children’s feelings.

Senior citizens often have issues with depression. They also live alone for the most part and may not have much contact with others.  Adding a dog to their life can give them the enthusiasm to live their life decrease depression. A dog can also offer a sense of safety and security to their home and lifestyle.  It is a known fact that dogs have helped their masters to realize when their blood sugar is low, when they are about to have a seizure, or are having other symptoms of illness. This uncanny ability to anticipate health issues in their owner is still being researched.
