That was a very touching story, Tonya. I am glad that Ray was able to connect with your dogs. I do believe that pet therapy is great for people like Ray. Heck, it's good for anyone!!

While I think Ray having his own dog may not be a possibility (seeing that owning a dog requires much time and responsibility), I think it would be awesome if your mom could take the dogs over to visit him and others she works with. I know it can make a difference in the quality of their life. Imagine how happy Ray must have been feeling laying there with your pups. Makes my heart smile!
