Pet Therapy for Education
Annie's Reading and Writing Program
Annie and I worked with multiple classes of students to talk to them about therapy animals.
After learning about therapy animals, they all wrote their own fictional pet therapy stories.
We turned these stories into the illustrated children's book Get Well Soon
The proceeds are donated to the Medical University of South Carolina Pet Therapy program.

Pet therapy for health care
Medical University of South Carolina
Annie has been working at the Medical University of South Carolina for 2 years. She loves to visit patients and staff at the hospital, performing tricks and providing company to bring as much joy and happiness as she can to their day.
Pawsome Story Time
As part of Annie's work with MUSC, she worked with her therapy handler as part of the Pawsome Story Time program. Pawsome Story Time is a catalog of videos of pet therapy teams reading children's books For children of all ages, spending time with a therapy dog brings smiles, giggles, and happy feelings. Hopefully when the dogs are not available in person, these stories will provide similar excitement.
