THERAPY DOGS TODAY; Their Gifts, Our Obligations by Kris Butler
click here for information and order on Amazon “Working with therapy animals is not about training. All the screening & training in the world will not prepare an animal for the challenges of intimacy & emotion encountered in visiting animal programs. ... The relationship between the therapy dog and handler is crucial to the interaction that occurs with the person they visit. … Working with therapy dogs is an ongoing process of self-assessment, reflection and willingness to see another species as sometimes more capable and more compassionate than ourselves. It is my hope that all handlers will be open to the potential for their own growth and learning. For by being open to the gifts of animals, we increase our own opportunities for growth and healing.” |

HOW CAN I HELP? Stories and Reflections on Service
by Ram Dass & Paul Gorman click here for information and order on Amazon “The more you think of yourself as, ‘therapist’, (‘nurse’, ’doctor’, even ‘volunteer’) the more pressure there is on someone to be a ‘patient’. The more you see yourself as ‘helper’, the more need for people to play the passive ‘helped.’ You're feeding into, even juicing up, precisely what people who are suffering want to be rid of: limitation, dependency, helplessness, separateness. … After all, if some of us are busy being helpers there must be others under continuous pressure to be helped. ... How much is this helping and how much is it hindering? …We may be startled to discover that what they've been asking for all along is entirely different from what we've been so busy offering.” |

PACK OF TWO; The Intricate Bond Between People and Dogs, by Caroline Knapp
click here for information and order on Amazon “Dogs are fantasies that don’t disappoint. …sometimes I look back and think the dog trotted in, sniffed out that itemized emotional shopping list I’d been carrying around, and said, Okay, you want love without ambivalence? Intimacy? A sense of family? I can do that. We’d sit outside on my patio for hours at a stretch , and I’d watch her wander about, sniff a blade of grass here or a weed there, and I’d feel like some chamber in my heart had been blasted open, a compartment labeled 'love' that had been sealed shut for years ... The emotional purity of those early days and weeks was like discovering a map where the varied elements and sensations of love were marked and identified, as if by colored flags. I’d hold her on my lap and stroke her fur, and I’d feel a profound contentment and I’d think: Oh, this is the comforting part of love, as opposed to the scary part. I’d take her to the park and watch her play with other dogs, see the abandon with which she threw herself into a chase or leaped up on another dog, and I’d think: Ah, this is the joyful part, the part where I feel delight. I’d roll around on the floor with her, and scratch her belly and squeal at her in a high voice, and I’d think: Right … the part where you get to act silly. All these new mother sensations seemed to stir and then blossom – nurturance and protectiveness and a cooing, cuddly affection – and each one astonished me with it’s clarity because, honestly, I wasn’t sure I had them in me." |
