There is a
remarkable appreciation for
pet dogs and plants, which has resulted
in sections of many nursing
homes implementing the so - called «Eden Alternative» of a naturalistic environment with friendly animals.
This commitment to save elderly dogs from euthanasia has resulted
in Old Dog Haven being the largest senior - dog rescue group of its kind
in America, though their service areas are shelters
in western Washington.Their plight has inspired a new book, «My Old Dog: Rescued
Pets with
Remarkable Second Acts» by Today Show writer Laura T. Coffee and illustrated by Lori Fusaro.Judith said she is amazed at how many are willing to open their hearts and
homes to their
pets, and as thrilled with their fantastic donors who make the vet bill coverage possible, but it's turning out more and more people are being drawn to the «castoffs» of the canine world.
