WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND: Molly Roskell with her Labrador Retriever Katie.

THERAPY in the form of the company of animals has long been considered by some health experts to be hugely beneficial, with the animal bringing their own unique form of creature comfort and companionship to patients, the elderly and people of all ages with special needs. Local woman Molly Roskell and her


canine companion, Katie, a golden labrador retriever, are testament to the difference these visits can make to people in hospitals, hospices,.


Molly’s creature comforts


' V a l l ^ F e a t u r e k a t ie


h am m o n d been such a 'people' dog and is so ._ i.


residential and nursing homes. - - Molly is a registered volunteer with


the charity Pets as Therapy "and first got involved in helping the elderly' . when they visited the husband of ■ Moll/s sister in a nursing home which actively encouraged people to take iri ’ dogs and pets on visits to residents.: . - Mollv exolatns: "Katie has alwavs


friendly and happy. Seeing how she was when we visits my sister-in-law and her friends made us think that maybe we could help different people by cheering them up with a visit - and that's how we got involved with Pets As Therapy to start with." It is felt that dogs and cats can often


■break down barriers put up by people with whom human contact has had little or no impact, and this can often ' be the first step to recovery.


• P.A;T. dogs and cats plus their owners, who are all reoistered


volunteers with the charity, visit a variety of care settings, including stroke units, working under the supervision of health care professionals and helping with rehabilitation and regaining movement. Clinical depression can cause people


to become withdrawn and lonely and gradually slow down overall communication, and the charity's volunteers tiy and help improve the psychological and emotional well­ being of the individuals that they •


: visit, in circumstances when previous attempt to communicate and improve


a situation for someone has failed. Molly and Katie have seen first


hand the difference that their visits 'v can make and are regular visitors to . at Ciitheroe Community Hospital


'


Rehabilitation Day Unit, a variety ' of care homes and Rainbows


Development Nursery at Barrowford, part of the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust


Molly continues: "Katie is first and foremost a treasured femily pet and


, we feel lucity to be able to share her with those that may benefit from her


company in any way at all. "The children at the nursery in


Barrowford love Katie's visits. We sit in


. the relaxation room with two or three of the children and let them come to her when the/re ready. Some of the children are blind and Katie seems to have a really calming effect as she's just like a warm teddy bear.


. " A t the rehabilitation centre, -


. our, visits are more about opening - communication with the patients •and the visits are a really good way of , helping people to talk, communicate , and make conversation." ■


■ Pets as Therapy volunteers and


their dogs are also working under the supervision of clinical psychologists


to treat children who suffer from severe animal phobias, helping them to face their fears and be able to go about normal day to day life in their community.


The selection process means that


the animals have to lindergo a temperament assessment to ensure their complete suitability for the scheme. More than 5,000 dogs and


-100 cats are presently involved in visiting across the UK and as a result, over 150,000 people are benefiting from the voluntary service that Pets As Therapy provide; -■ If you would like more
