Can Dogs Help In Stroke Recovery (Happy Tails)

Thank you for watching my 14th Full length video.
It's the story of my strokes and how dogs assisted me in my recovery.. and even a Puppy Dog Tail!
Come join me as I share my story of the Value of pets/furbabies and how they did and continue to help me daily..
Strokes are Scary.. Stroke recovery and rehabilitation can be difficult, and it can take an emotional toll on you. Pets offer the acceptance, love, and motivation that a stroke survivor may struggle to find in themselves. Even just petting an animal can provide a calming and comforting effect that can help with a survivor’s mental health.
dogs can assist a stroke survivor with their stroke recovery exercises. A simple activity like brushing the dog’s fur can act as a hand exercise and help decrease spasticity and increase motor recovery. They can also practice motor tasks by doing things like snapping the dog’s leash on and off, tying a bandana around their neck, and feeding them treats.
Pets Give Purpose
For stroke survivors, an animal could be the missing link in their recovery efforts. Dogs are common therapy pets, and there are many benefits to having one. They can provide the comfort and motivation a stroke survivor needs to power through their recovery and improve their mental health. Caring for a dog may also improve confidence in survivors because it makes it easier for them to meet people and be social.
