The professional therapy dog – a care dog on prescription av Ingeborg Höök

Imagine that a pharmaceutical company introduced a new drug that, without any side effects whatsoever, relieves depression, improves memory and increases motivation for physical activity; a drug that also improves self-esteem and the ability to interact with others. These are just some of the benefits of a “dog on prescription”. This may sound like a miracle cure peddled by a snake-oil salesman in a western, but although the achievements of the therapy dog teams seem miraculous, they are for real. Ingeborg Höök, initiator of the Swedish Care Dog School project, has written Sweden’s first book on healthcare using dogs. The professional therapy dog - a care dog on prescription is a book for everyone who is curious about the health effects a dog can give and it offers a broad range of applications in healthcare.
