Henry nearly fainted when he finally understood the graph showing the decline in kibbles Vicky was earning so…


He set about studying his little dog heart out


So he could be registered with PAT as a Pet Therapist

Henry is a Border Collie Therapist who is very good at listening whilst sitting, walking, running or catching a ball. He likes being read to, fussed over and talked about.

So far, he has helped one person come out of his house to play ball for the first time in over a year! He has helped people to talk about doing more of the things that work, he has made sad people laugh and he has snuggled up to people who don’t think they have any friends.

For a bowl of water, a little game of catch and a warm lap on which to lay his head, Henry’s affection is yours!
