Therapy dogs spread happiness, love, and cheer to people who otherwise might be lonely, sad or slow to heal. This is the journey of Cayman, a longhair miniature dachshund and his journey and experiences visiting becoming a therapy dog.

Did you know that pet visits often spark good memories of a person's own pets? Dogs often can reach people and children who have withdrawn from the world. It's been suggested by science that petting a dog can lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety and stress, and promote healing.

God made a little dachsie

to brighten up our day.

He took a bit of sunshine,

laughter, love, and play,

and rolled it up in a sausage shape

just right for a hug,

with bright eyes full of mischief

set in its little mug.

With little paws a pattering,

to take it here and there-

and a cold wet nose-but then He thought,

"Oh, what about the hair?

Shall I make it long and silky,

or wiry, that's so sweet, or make it simple, and have it smooth

and satiny and neat?

And what about the color-

how can I pick just one?

Shall it be black, or red or brown

or dappled, just for fun?"

He pondered while He made the world,

And all creatures great and small-

And then the answer came to Him-

"OF COURSE! I'll make them ALL!!"

So remember that a dachshund

is special, from above His coat of many colors

is a sign of God's great Love.
