Dogs join navy veterans for a spot of paws-on therapy
Veterans at a Royal Navy club welcomed some visitors with a difference to their weekly breakfast meeting.
The charity, Pets as Therapy, went along to the Saturday-morning meeting of the Newport-based club, with two of their therapy dogs Suzie, the Pekingese, and Sasha, the golden retriever.
The charity's work is centred on helping improve people's wellbeing and mental health through the bond between animals and humans.
The group carries out visits to a number of venues, such as residential homes, day care centres, schools, universities, hospitals, hospices, and even prisons.
