Just before Christmas I started the application process for Mia to become a Pets As Therapy (PAT) dog. As part of the process I had to take Mia to meet a representative of the charity who carried out an assessment of her. She behaved perfectly during the assessment and we received confirmation recently that she had passed! She received a little ID badge with her picture on as well as a certificate and I ordered her a little coat with the PAT logo. She looks very smart in it. So as all her paperwork and ID was in order we booked her first visit.
On Friday we went to a residential home in Hemel Hempstead. The residents were all older people, many with dementia/Alzheimer’s and most were ladies. Mia got on great; the residents and staff all liked her and made us both very welcome.
Mia got lots of strokes, fuss and some treats and she did very well considering it was her first time. We plan to visit once or twice each month.
Well done Mia – I am very proud of my special girl.

Mia, you look so smart in your uniform! Tink, on the other hand, looks typically unimpressed by his sister's success!

Mia continues to do her Pets as Therapy visits every couple of weeks or so. Today lots of ladies and gents at the day centre were delighted when she popped in to see them all. She went round the room and gave everyone a kiss in return for a treat.
