Gail Clark, a Yarmouth-based tester observer with about 12 years of therapy dog experience, said, “I think we all lost a year last year.” While this is true for all of us due to the pandemic, she meant that the therapy dog teams weren’t able to do their jobs properly due to health regulations that needed to be followed.

In the case of Annie, Clark’s French Bulldog, the pup was always so eager to enter facilities such as Maine Medical Center when they were in the vicinity. You could almost say that Annie is looking for her job as Clark suggests. We can only hope that this pandemic should end soon. Plenty of people including children and the elderly need the presence of therapy dogs for learning, happiness, and comfort.
