Pet doctors to the rescue
*************************
*************************
They say laughter is the best medicine, and judging by the huge expressions of joy on the faces of those comforted by animals in the Dr Pet programme, these therapeutic fur bundles are proving to be a profound source of relief to those in need.
The 12 dogs, cats and rabbits in the Dr Pet programme visit elderly centres and hospitals to improve the psychological and physical health of the needy.
The news.gov.hk team recently saw Dr Pets in action at an elderly centre in Kwai Shing East Estate.
The story appears on news.gov.hk today (March 27) in both text and video format.
