Dear ones, I am going to show you a screenshot. Then I am going to ask you to click through to view the whole series of images and read the words that go with them. Thirdly, I request you, then, to return here and comment. Tell me if, like me, you got through a few tissues. This story holds Love of the Universal kind, the cathartic kind... the 'there's more to the world than the eye could ever see' kind... (
NB, my hyperlinks open in a new tab, so do not fear losing this page.)
Aniamals are wonderful healer. Before covid and I had a friend in hospital here and they would let me bring in dog and visit.

Very touching and confirms what some of us already know - that the human animal relationship is not just us 'domesticating' them; there is choice involved. xxx Mr T and F
ReplyDeleteTouching, but my main response was to wonder how an NHS hospital would respond to someone trying to bring a horse in, so no tissues required!

DeleteWell, in the UK, the mini-ponies are visiting care homes... you never know when the message might get through! Yxx
i just lost my comment, due to internet drop, telling you this in case it saved. the first photo is heartbreaking as is the funeral procession. i have heard of and met dogs that are healing dogs and can detect sick people, but never a horse. it doesn't surprise me at all that the horse can and does do this, although i am surprised the hospital lets him. thee are many hoops to jump through here just to get a comfort dog in a hospital. love the story and God bless both of them
ReplyDeleteWhat a heart-felt and incredible story♥
ReplyDeleteI am nearly speechless. Dr. Peyo what blessing he and his owner are to so many. I had no idea a horse could have such a gift.

Thanks Yamini for sharing this. Such a moving story. We all know some animals bring in such therapeutic effects, but when it is explained in so many words with photos, it does make one pause and ponder over such comforting aspects of this world where not all that we see and experience can be explained rationally and scientifically.
ReplyDeleteWoW! Payo is quite the horse. Having spent a lot of time with horses in the past, I totally understand how Peyo could become such an integral part of palliative care. Bouchakour is a jewel of a person to help Peyo with his life's mission. Yes, horses can be "house trained". Like a dog they will let you know. Thanks for sharing this uplifting story with us. You made my day!
ReplyDeleteDr. Peyo and his partner are amazing. We are not at all surprised at the comfort the horse brings. We know of a young girl who goes to school with our twins and has serious anxiety issues. Since she started horseback riding, her parents have seen a big difference in her anxiety levels for the better. Animals are amazing creatures.
ReplyDeleteI'm just not in a space to watch it right now.
ReplyDeleteOur COVID cases are up, we're going to red zone. We are hanging on. At least spring is here.
BTW the pond is pretty solid. It melts from the outside in, and it is good.
JB has horrible neck pain, for 3 mos. It's really been horrid. We don't know what to do.
This post has hit close to home. Sis #1 who had cancer surgery last October has now developed a new more aggressive form. March 19, just 10 days after our latest sister time, she received the word that this is terminal. If no chemo she would probably not last the summer. She will be starting chemo as soon as the left kidney can be drained. A stent was put in this morning. We are hoping and praying for a few more years. Certainly will work as continuing to have sister time. Thanks for this moving story. namaste, janice xx
