News Story Summary:

Port Macquarie puppy therapy brings joy to age care residents

They’re called man’s best friend for a reason – alleviating loneliness, and bringing plenty of smiles to our faces.

Port Macquarie Dachshund Group:

Dachshunds are the best medicine, according to a new therapy program bringing canines and Port Macquarie’s aged care residents together.

Port Macquarie Dachshund Group (PMDG) members and their four-legged friends are visiting Emmaus on a weekly basis after a successful trial run last year.

Lifestyle officer Louisa Powell said they are seeing immediate benefits.

“The memories that the visit brings up and the smiles that it brings for them are really special,” said Ms Powell.

“You can see the benefit immediately, they relate to them straight away”.

Port Macquarie Dachshund Group on Facebook:

This group is an open forum where members can share their passion for this wonderful breed.

They encourage members to share photos and stories, to ask and answer questions, and participate in discussions as well as arrange play dates with other dachshunds either individually or as a group.
