Terri along with K9 Snickers like to share the value of an intuitive Therapy dog that can
offer comfort and beyond that. Increased communication and social interaction due to
group cohesiveness can assist greatly during emergencies affecting small and large
groups affected by emergencies. Snickers often makes that happen as she works in the
community that surrounds us. She brings people together – their differences forgotten.
First responders and others that are directly involved during crisis can benefit by adding
Snickers to their much-needed breaks.
