“Compassion is to suffer with, to have empathy with, and this includes joy and celebration, as well as sorrow.  It works from a strength borne out of a shared weakness and an awareness of the mutuality of us all.  It’s the bond between us and also with our animals and it includes grieving and tasting salt with our fellow men and women. 
It’s a way of life, the basis of community. 
It’s the way to treat all of life.”

Leo Bustad, DVM, PhD - founder of the Delta Society

Featured Pet PartnersTeam Page On a regular basis we will feature a different team from the Therapy ARC group.  Along with information about the handler and pet, there will always be a true story of a particularly powerful visit experienced by this team and how their visitation is making a difference both in the lives of those they visit as well as in their own.
