Imagine, if you will, a quiet room where your stress and anxiety are hanging in the air like a thick fog. Suddenly, the door opens, and in trots a happy dog who can swing your worries away with its tail. Or imagine the soft purr of a cat calming you down as it snuggles beside you when you’re anxious, or even the gentle nuzzle of a horse that reminds you that you are not alone with your problems.
These are not just any animals; they are heroes covered in fur or feathers, a.k.a therapy animals.
One such member of this furry brigade — a 30-pound bunny — is making waves online for working his therapeutic magic at hospitals and airports in California.
