From the moment he walked through the door, Lorenzo had our residents smiling, laughing, and chatting. Many residents instantly reached out to stroke him, while others shared fond memories of their own beloved pets from years gone by.
Lorenzo’s visit brought a sense of comfort, companionship, and pure happiness — particularly for residents living with dementia. His gentle nature and playful personality created a lovely atmosphere, encouraging interaction, conversation, and even a few cuddles!
One resident beamed, “I haven’t smiled like this in days – he’s just perfect!” Another proudly told stories of their childhood dog while stroking Lorenzo’s soft fur.
It was a truly uplifting experience for everyone involved. Moments like these show just how powerful animal therapy can be in bringing joy and emotional connection to daily life.
Lorenzo is now very much part of the Fountains family, and we’re already looking forward to his next visit!
