And here’s an activity for you and your dog that might be rewarding when you return home.

In the islands, pets can be taken to hospitals and nursing homes to comfort patients.  Researchers are finding that pets truly have the power to heal patients, especially the elderly.  They have a relaxing and calming influence.  Pets take the human mind off loneliness, grief, pain, and fear.  Patients in hospitals and nursing homes who have regular visits from pets are more receptive to medical treatment and nourishment.  Animals can actually give the patient the will to live.

There’s a seminar on Oahu that teaches dogs how to become therapy dogs.  You (and your dog) learn things like the importance of temperament, how to raise a therapy dog, obedience requirements, liability issues, and how to deal with special patient populations. (Acute Care Hospitals, Rehabilitation Hospitals, Hospice, Psychiatric Facilities and Public School Systems all use animal assisted therapy.)

So if you join those who take their dogs along on their Hawaii vacations, you have a unique way to spend a day or two, and your dog will return home ready to be a true hero.
