    Doctor Dog

    Just sharing something interesting I cam across online. I would love to see more of this here in Malaysia.I have seen this Doctor Dog programme in a lot of other countries. And I am really glad Malaysia has open it door to our Human's best friend: The doggies. Dogs are affectionate animals that can help calm down a person's nerve and ease the stress.

    Me and my beloved baby Yuki. He is my best friend with a bushy tail and furry hair. I love him. He is so cute, adorable and affectionate. Whenever I am down or sad, I will immediately recover after hugging him and telling him my troubles.
    I miss him so much. Wish i can see him soon. He has a very calm, stable temperament, I am sure Yuki will make a good doctor dog too. ^^~~~ He is not afraid of people or crowded areas. I brought him out to lots of places before. Like the supermarket , shopping malls and hotels etc. Ok..ignore the sign : No pets outside these places. Yuki was so welcomed that the owner or manager actually let us in and walk around. Haha.



    Dr Dog a hit in Kuala Lumpur

    Cross-breeds winning over hearts and minds
    Dr Dog programme has now been extended to Malaysia, through our representatives, Furry Friends Farm (FFF), an animal shelter in Kundang, Selangor, run by Sabrina Yeap.


    In June 2007, Animals Asia signed an agreement with Sabrina Yeap of Furry Friends Farm, based just outside Kuala Lumpur, to start the Dr Dog programme in Malaysia. Jill Robinson and Mark Jones from Animals Asia visited Kuala Lumpur in March 2009 to see how they were getting on.

    Getting the dog therapy programme off the ground has been a huge challenge for Sabrina and her team of dedicated volunteers, because in Malaysia, a predominantly Muslim country, dogs do not enjoy a high social status. However, through hard work and dedication, Sabrina and her team are slowly making inroads.

    Animals Asia is really pleased to see Dr Dog developing in a positive way in Malaysia, helping people there begin to appreciate the value of dogs to society.

    Doctor's dog makes hospital visits

    People usually don't notice Dr. Phil Mosca when he walks the halls of Integris Southwest Medical Center. They notice his dog.

    The 71-pound boxer, Boz, draws smiles and puzzled looks as he makes his rounds as a therapy dog. Patients pet him, cuddle him and feed him treats, and their demeanor improves immediately, Mosca said

    "It's good for the patients,” he said. "It's good for me, too.”
