Meet Zane! He's A Cuddly Mental Health Facility Support Dog

Send us Fan MailThere’s a special new dog in town!  His name is Zane and he’s a mental health facility support dog at Pathstone Mental Health. That sounds a bit formal and it’s easier to think of Zane as a cuddly assistant.Zane was specially trained by the Lion’s Foundation of Canada Dog Guides to assist children who are in therapy or for their mental health at professional agencies, like Pathstone.  He provides a non-judgmental and calming influence to reassure kids experiencing a stressful situation.I recently had the pleasure of meeting Zane with therapist Jennifer Forstinger. He’s a lovely standard poodle who knows exactly when to play and when he’s at work.
