LAYTON Providing friendship and therapy for senior citizens is something not just anybody can do. Unless of course youre a dog. Then it comes naturally. Employees at the Davis County Animal Shelter, registered nurses, and the elderly all agree the best therapy for the old is a pet. One special therapist who is working overtime is Taffy. female Taffy is a snow white, in Manor resides Camelot at who poodle Layton, with four elderly people who enjoy both her company and friendship. They love it. They really do, said Theresa Credit, registered nurse at the manor. Poodles are loveable, just like these people, Credit said referring to the senior citizens who live in the hbme. Credit explained dogs are used for therapy because they are so easy to get along with. Every morning Taffy will go from room to room to greet each of the clients for the new day. Credit said. The best thing that could have happened to this place is when the dog showed up, Credit said. All elderly people should have a dog. Taffy arrived at the home for the elderly last week, when the Davis County Animal Shelter suggested to Juanita Halverson, owner of the home, a pet would be great therapy for her clients. Many people who enter a facility have to give their pet up, said Assistant Director DeAnn McKenzie, of the Davis County Animal Shelter. When asked why pets are used for therapy, McKenzie replied, People dont feel threatened with pets. Animals dont whisper, stare, discriminate, or make judgement calls, McKenzie said, When giving a pet to the elderly the Davis Theresa Credit watches Harry Leishman enjoy the therapy and friendship from Taffy. The event was held at the Oak Hills Capel. Taffy awaits her next therapy job. i County Animal Shelter takes into consideration the past history of the pet, as well as evaluating the pets actions. A good percentage of pets are adopted by the elderly, McKenzie said. And they receive an immediate response from them. The Davis County Animal Shelter will conduct programs for the purpose of uniting' pets with senior citizens in the near future. There is a national interest with pet pro- -' grams related to the elderly, she said. j i j candy is homemade, home-wrappe- d, d for the and making of an original treat We have peanut butter cups, bird's nests, marshmallow eggs, and a variety of other items we sell during Easter, said Julie Peterson, owner and candy specialist.

Pets on Wheels, Some examples include, j Hug a Pet, and Pet a Pet." Animal control is getting away from the image of being dog catchers, and is being looked upon as an animal service, McKenzie history-gatherin- g said. The dog really makes their day. Like a companion, said Halverson. The pet keeps their minds off of their .own health, and gives them a different out- look on life, Halverson said. When asked why a dog was chosen for the special role, Halverson replied, A dog is more ambitious. A cat is lazy. ! i 544-365- 7, 544-989- 1 Story by Bryon Saxton Photos by Rodney W.
