Therapy Dogs Lose Work Just as Therapy is Needed

Audi is Karen Martin’s 15-pound Schnauzer derivative. She is a registered therapy dog and a card-carrying member of Therapy Dogs International. Karen Martin, Audi’s owner said, “She (Audi) passed a TDI evaluation and embarked on a career of visiting Presbyterian Village and Baptist Rehabilitation Institute, serving as a Tail Waggin' Tutor for kids at libraries, greeting parishioners at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church, and showing up in the newsroom on days that are more stressful than usual.”

But due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all of these visitations have been stopped. This is due to social distancing regulations and the fear of animals being able to carry the virus from one person to another with their fur. Luckily for all of us, the CDC states that even infected pets have a low risk of transmitting the virus to humans.
