Our #therapydog team, Candee Monette and Manny, recently spent a week volunteering at Royal Family Kids Camp, a special kind of summer camp for children who have experienced deep trauma. 

Throughout the week, campers build resiliency, confidence, hope and positive memories in a safe, nurturing environment. Every moment at camp is intentional. For many children, it’s their very first birthday they’ve ever celebrated: Each child is celebrated with their own birthday cake, special gifts, and the joy of feeling truly seen and loved. ❤️ 

“Manny brings comfort, peace, joy and plenty of smiles. On hard days, kids know they can come sit with Manny, give him a hug and simply feel safe, changing their whole day as they focus on the love of a dog,” Candy shares. “They leave camp feeling loved. Being part of this life-changing week has been one of the greatest experiences of my life.” 

At Canine Companions, our core mission is to provide servicedogs and facility dogs to our community. However, we also have #therapydogs who make a difference in their special ways as pets - and they're delighted to fulfill that role!

In fact, more than one-third of dogs released from our service dog training program have gone on to serve as therapy dogs, spreading more smiles, cuddles and happiness across the country. 🥰

Thank you, Candee and Manny, for sharing the healing power of the human-animal bond and helping create last memories. 🐕
