factor in a patient's psychological

health.
This is integral in helping people maintain a better mental
standing on their condition. This and the ever-loving nature of
dogs make them perfect cures to depression that often plagues
many patients and residents of nursing homes and hospitals.
It's very difficult to accurately measure how positive an effect
these dogs have on patients. But all you have to do to see that
they're doing their job is a happy smile on a patient's face
