Therapy Dog, Jack, Animals can play an important role in overall health and wellbeing, and it's no secret that a friendly dog can make you forget for a moment the stresses of the day. In fact, studies show that human-pet interaction lowers heart rate and blood pressure.  Jack is a 5-year-old Golden Retriever and trained therapy dog.  His "job" is to greet clients and offer his unconditional acceptance and love. If a client is not comfortable with Jack, he's happy to take a nap in another room.  Jack's friendly, calm behavior has made him a client favorite.
