Dr Dog in Malaysia
We have recently heard that Dr Dog has now made it's way to Malaysia. Dr Dog is an innovative animal therapy programme pioneered by Animals Asia Founder, Jill Robinson. The concept of animal therapy in Asia began with just one dog and a vision to promote animal welfare through people welfare. Dr. Max - a gentle golden giant - was allowed just one hour in the garden of the Duchess of Kent Children's Hospital in 1991....it was a visit that was to mark the start of a positive change in the public's perception of dogs and following in Max's healing paw prints, the Dr. Dog programme has grown quite literally in leaps and bounds! Over 300 'Canine Consultants', registered as official Animals Asia animal therapy dogs and teams of enthusiastic volunteers make regular visits to hospitals, disabled centres, homes for the young and elderly, orphanages and schools, spreading warmth and unconditional love to people in need in 6 countries across Asia. We will be meeting with Sabrina, the lady who has established this in Kuala Lumpur to see how this can be applied in Sabah.
