If there are individuals who would benefit from the presence of therapy animals, these are the sick and terminally ill. Good news, therapy animals may be able to visit wards regularly. The Royal College of Nursing looks forward to the day that the all-out ban on assistance animals in hospitals be stopped.

To date, this endeavor is being pursued at Southampton General Hospital where Leo and Lottie, two therapy dogs, visit a couple of children with various health conditions. So far, Leo was able to help kids diagnosed with cancers and brain issues. For example, Leo helped divert James Davison’s attention while a nurse was plastering his leg.

While some organizations hesitate to allow dogs inside hospitals because of possible allergies and infections, Amanda Cheesley from the Royal College of Nursing says that these dogs can save a ton of lives. After all, they’ve been trained and insured.
