Animal therapy, as it is known, is a growing field . In nursing homes, hospitals, schools, and even in prisons, these qualified service animals are helping people. Dogs, cats and even horses can be brought in to help relieve stress, pain or just to be a caring companion. In the USA, some airports have introduced teams of animals to make the passengers’ experience more enjoyable . In many areas, registered therapy animals can even fly on the plane with their owners and they’re not just cats and dogs. You might find yourself sitting next to a duck or a pig on your next flight !
