My seven-year-old daughter got sick with the swine flu last week, and she got it quite bad, it turned into pneumonia. Anyways, while she lays at home on the couch, I found that when I bring her our beardie (Balrog), she gets some colours on her cheeks, and seems to cheer up. She talks with Balrog, cuddles with her and Balrog seems really happy to be cuddled that much in a single day... and its been 5 days!
I had heard before about the therapeutic effect of animals, but this is the first time I actually witness it (Balrog is our first pet). I can say that Balrog made my daughter drink some juice and take a few bites of food, and most important, she made her smile!
Happy flu season!
