At
Sneha Sadan orphanage, therapy dog Angel interacts with the
children providing them emotional support and her companionship.
Her playful presence is very effective with withdrawn or
uncommunicative children.
Angel helps open a channel of safe and easier communication
between the child and the therapist. Through playing with her
and also assisting in teaching her commands these children
increase their self-esteem and confidence. Their need to be
nurtured is met when they shower Angel with hugs and kisses and
then get them back from her!
