Spotlight On Kindness: Best Doggone Therapists Around

They make us feel okay about ourselves and the world. During the pandemic, they have been the steady anchors, ready to play, go on walks, and love unconditionally. Their joy is infectious. And it's hard to repay their kindness. If you have a story of how an animal has helped you or someone else in your life, we'd love to hear it at kindspring.org. --Guri
