FYI, The Singapore Kennel Club has a "Pet Assisted Therapy program - Dogs for Love" or PAT for short.
PAT refers to a pet owner taking his/her pet to visit people/children in some sort of institutional setting with the objective of assisting in healing either physically or mentally, it simply means the sharing of the unconditional acceptance and empathy of our dogs.
If you have the odd Sunday afternoon free and would like to join, contact the SKC at http://www.skc.org.sg/Services.htm , skclub@pacific.net.sg or 6469 4821 Ludo
