The healing power of * dogs
will be evident at th
raceview Lodge come August.

That’s when the Terraceview
pet visitation program —— it br-
ings lodge residents and four-
footed . friends
begins,

The bond between dogs and

humans’ has enabled people to
speak . who haven't com-
municated with other’ people for
a long time, “says Tammy
Dureau of the program.

“You get people who don’t
speak for years and they pat the
dog and their eyes light up and
they scream.or grunt. It’s just
tremendaus.” -

Her mother runs a pet visita-
tion program at the Jubilee
Lodge in Prince George, and
Dureau went through an orien-
tation there.

“The first resident we visited
didn’t talk at all seven years ago
and now she goes on like there's
no tomorrow. People suspect it
had a lot to do with the dogs .

“Everytime she sees it’s a pet
visitation day she'll sit by. the
T.V. and watch the door every
five minutes. Last week her
family visited and she just drop-
ped them because she gets so
much out of the dogs.’*

Dureau says dogs helped
another young man who suf-
fered brain damage as the result
of a car accident at age 17. Doc-
tors told her they had trouble
determining his responses 10

However, “when we were
there with the dogs we'd ask yes
or no questions and he’d shake

his head yes or no .— it was a
. definite answer.”

Nolunteers’ dogs must par-
in. a. screening test
before being accepted. into the
program, .

Dureau explains that’s
because -the animals: must be
able to. calmly accept the hands
and laps of strange people, the
sight and movement: of
wheelchairs, and. loud; noises
like the clang of pots and pans.

Only ‘one quarter “of

. volunteered dogs pass the test,

she adds."

Describing her ‘own experience ‘on a
Canadian Crossroads. Interndlional éx-
change as well warth it, Kim Cordeiro is
trying to form a branch of the organization

here.

Cordeiro’s cultural exchange began. is
September of last year. During her four-
month stay in Ambato, Ecuador, she
taught English at. the local university. -

“But I learned a lot at the same time,”’
she said, adding she didn’t realize fully how
much until after her return to Terrace and :

she’d time to fully digest it all. °

Now she wants to give other local
residents an opportunity to enjoy a similar

experience.

Cordeiro said the first step will be to set
up a committee — ideally herself and two
others — which will co-ordinate the local

Crossroads effort.

Cordeiro explained Crossroads was a
non-denominational
Organization which. promoted. cross- -
‘cultural experiences and education.

’ Although there was a minimum age
limit, 19, for those taking part in one of its
exchanges, she emphasized there was no
upper age limit so there was nothing to pre-

there would be interest from the local
