A New Leash on Life

On a small farm just outside of Sacramento, California, there’s a new program for cancer patients and their dogs called “A New Leash on Life.”

 

The farm has always charged for obedience, agility, dock jumping and sheep herding lessons, but the new program, on the first Sunday of each month, is free of charge. The mastermind behind the program suffered from cancer herself and knows first hand that the best thing to take your mind off your illness, is spending time with your dog. The farm allows cancer patients to escape from the city for a few hours with their dog and enjoy life in the country with the many walking trails and a swimming pond. The favourite of both dogs and people seems to be the dock jumping. Most of the participants suffer from cancer themselves, but some have found comfort and reassurance in their dog after a loved one has passed away from cancer. After all, the love of a dog really is the best medicine.

 

Mary Whitehouse rescued her border collie Max from a shelter, after her husband passed away from cancer, but she claims that in reality, Max is the one who rescued her.
