|
A young member of Animal Angels, one year old Sophie is trained to be a therapy dog for the autistic children at the Prasanna Autism Center. A loving pet of the Godbole family Sophie is now an integral part in the life of the children at Prasanna Autism Center. It was the initiative of Mrs. Padmaja Godbole, Founder of Prasanna Autism Center, to have an in-house Therapy Animal in the school for the children. At one year, Sophie is sensitive and responsive to the emotional needs of the autistic children. Many children who were not at all communicative or interactive have developed a close bond with Sophie. They may not be able to speak or communicate with others but when they come to the school they will call out for 'Chopie'. Sophie gave birth to 9 health puppies on 25th December 2007. Out of the 9 pups, 3 pups (Naughty, Pepper and Rusty) are volunteering with Animal Angels and are being trained to be Therapy Dogs. All the pups have wonderful temperament and they are a promising batch of India's second generation of Therapy Dogs. |
