THERAPY

The VISPAT program (Visiting Pets as Therapy) is a scheme whereby dogs are taken into nursing homes and hospitals by their human companions to visit the elderly and the sick. It is run through the Guide Dog Association in Victoria and all visitors are volunteers.

There have been several Mastiffs that have taken part in this program.
