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 questions.

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.

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- , vent seniors from applying. She also hoped there would be interest from the local
