[QUOTE="1 Day At a Time, post: 355255, member: 3704"] Absolutely WmM! I spend a lot of time with my boss in the community (she's a quadriplegic) and her beautiful assistance dog just draws people to her. She a very extroverted person and fights loneliness. I think that many people are uncomfortable approaching an obviously disabled individual, and the dog gives them an excuse and common talking point. Of course, the dog loves all the adoration! I've seen studies about older people who live alone, and how just having a pet lowers their blood pressure. The companionship is invaluable, but having a pet also gives you instant membership in the pet owner club! Valerie [/QUOTE]
