Therapy Donkeys Bring Smiles
A
donkey’s gentle and affectionate nature brings a calming effect over
all who they come into contact with. Donkeys especially enjoy human
interactions and this helps
to lift people's spirits.
Their nature acts as a type of magnet drawing all people to them. Recently, this was especially true when
the
donkeys had a couple of visits from some students from the Latham
School. The students really enjoyed interacting with the donkeys.
This
was a unique experience for the students and it brought lots of smiles.
It was a visibly uplifting experience to the students spirit during
donkey petting. The students had many
questions about working with the donkeys and taking care of them. The donkeys always seem to bring out the best in people-- this is
typically
immediate and significant. Many of our individuals have stated that
their interaction with our donkeys has been one of their life’s
highlights.
