Animal Therapy

I find the concept of pet-assisted therapy exceedingly fascinating. More than that, the bond that humans and animals share is extremely intriguing. Some biological evolutionists might propose that for thousands of years humans have depended on animals to warn them of threats and keep them safe, ensuring human survival. But to this day, the relationship between animals and people can sometimes serve as a healing power. I wish I could understand why this is. All I know is that those who suffer emotional or physical pain often find solace and companionship in pets. When humans see animals in a restful state, a feeling of security and safety is conjured in human minds. This animal-person bond helps nurture children, war veterans, and disturbed people who have emotional, social, or cognitive issues. The companionship of animals is a beautiful thing that God offers the human race.
