Or with animal therapy in hospitals.
I hope it doesn't sound odd when I ask what above means. Thank you.

Hi, @greenrun No. Your question does not sound odd. Well, there are times when people may be in the hospital for a bit of time. With an injury or an illness such as cancer perhaps. Going through treatments. It can be a very lonely time for perhaps someone without family or friends that are near by to visit them. It can be frightful for an elderly person or a child whos family must work, or for some other reason cannot be there at all times. This can be very stressful and can cause anxiety. Which can slow the healing process. It has been shown that animals can be very therapeutic. They can be very calming. Which is great for lowering stress and anxiety. As well as fear. They can bring companionship and cheerfulness to patients. In which can aid people in healing. Possibly giving them a faster recovery. I hope I have given you a better understanding of what we were meaning. Thank you.

Ok, I think I have read about this where they used goats in an old people's home. The goat were loved by all the elderly people who take turns caring for it. Very nice.
Yes indeed. Very nice. Thanks again for reading.
Have a great day/evening.
