Our guest today is Doree Taylor, a multi-talented woman who is going to be sharing with us about how their dog and family connected.  Her son with hydrocephauls was especially drawn to this specific  animal.  Join us, you will enjoy today's show.

Here is some information on Doree.

I have a 20-year background in project-based marketing & promotion, serving non-profit, small business, education & entertainment enterprises. My niche skills include expert publicity writing, graphic design & complete collateral creation. You can rely on my talents to get any project into the public eye and attract the positive responses you seek! My combined experience in outside/retail sales, fundraising, event planning & entertainment coordination has taught me to interact successfully with all kinds of people in all kinds of situations, ensuring that projects run on time, on budget, & without undue stress. Working as a face-to-face marketing research field interviewer & a merchandising team lead, I have learned the importance of tightly integrated logistics as well as confidentiality. Ultimately, I bring to the table rare ‘people smarts’ that translate across all channels & contribute to unified focus among all those concerned with the RESULTS!

Today we will be discussing the different catagories of animals that provide assistance to people.

As pet owners we are often concerned about what and how we can train our pets.  But the truth is that pets often teach us.  As a parent educator (and pet grief coach) I use animals to teach families how to relate to one another in daily life.

Today's show will be about some of the life skills we can learn from animals.  Here are just some we will discuss;

To have unconditional love for others.To be non-judgemental about race, gender, religion or nationalityTo protect our loved onesTo be aware of other's feelings and show empathy and comfortTo show loyalty for familyTo trust your instinctsTo live in the moment--don't hold grudgesTo keep our needs simpleTo hide a little something away for a rainy dayTo include excercise and naps in everyday.

You are invited to call in during the show or to leave comments that may be used in an up-coming book on Animal-Human Connection. Thanks for being part of our community of kind, thoughtful people who want respect for all.  

Judy Helm Wright, Pet Grief Coach and author of "I Lost My Best Friend Today--Dealing With The Loss of a Beloved Pet."
