The Pawsitive Pals Pet Therapy Program at San Diego Hospice and The Institute for Palliative Medicine (http://www.sdhospice.org/volunteer) has a remarkable way of connecting with patients on a very special level. This video features certified dogs of all shapes, sizes, and breeds who show how they reduce loneliness, depression, stress, and isolation while promoting relaxation and improved morale. Support our life-affirming mission through your gifts of time, talent and treasures. Learn more: http://www.sdhospice.org/san-diego-hospice-ways-to-give.

  • Gorgeous video.Can't go wrong with doggies

  • @Trund27 We agree! Love our Pawsitive Pals!

  • I do volunteer work at the Palo Alto VAMC. In addition to working with paralyzed veterans, I also meet some of our veteran patients in the Hospice Ward. Very intense to say the least. One of the family members asked me why I do what I do. I told her it is part of the soldier creed that you never leave a fallen soldier behind. As a retired soldier, I do what I can for these troops.

  • @jvolstad You do such honorable work and it makes such a difference in the lives of those you touch. Thank you for your service!

  • @SanDiegoHospice My youngest daughter (16) helps with the special needs kids at her school so things like this really interest us. She is talking about either being a special needs teacher or this kind of work. Keep up the good work!!
