“I really enjoy being a therapy dog…but when I saw the segment on the therapy mini-horse, I felt a little insecure.”

Dogs~ I think I have horse envy. Or at least therapy mini-horse envy. After watching this segment on Lunar and Mystery, two therapy mini-horses visiting a pediatric hospital ward in Chicago, my tail drooped a bit. I know I blog a lot about really appreciating each being’s unique qualities, but today this became a challenge for me. For a minute I wished I was a mini-horse. Luckily, I think I’ve worked it through and can appreciate my poodle-ness again.

Watch the youtube below and you’ll see the amazing healing work these two pint-sized equines are up to. And if you’re a Bay Area pooch who would like to volunteer at a local hospital as a therapy dog, you can contact www.therapypets.org for more information. Horses aside, they’re always looking for loving dogs!
