Muzzles

His name is Wynn, he is on the frontline of Denver’s fight against the Covid-19, who offers comfort and cuddles to the doctors.

How exactly is he helping the medics?  - he visits the emergency room at Rose Medical Center and is trained to become an assistance dog to adults, children and veterans with disabilities for the non-profit organization Canine Companions for Independence.

But really, how is he making an impact? – he is showing love to emergency room doctors, who are taking a break from their shift. He is sitting next to them while also listening to meditating music.

Before doctors can cuddle Wynn, they are required to wash their hands in order to prevent the possible spread of germs.

The dog owner, Ryan, believes that dogs can have a positive impact on doctors and nurses during this difficult time. 'Seeing stuff and hearing stuff that you can't unsee has an impact on you,' she said. 

'That's where the dogs come in. When you are in the presence of the dog and petting them you are taking a moment to ground yourself at that present time.' 

Wynn will be under the Ryan’s care until she is 22 months old, and then she'll move on to a professional training program at one of the organization's training centers.

More than 520,427 coronavirus cases have been confirmed until today, with over 23,595 deaths. In the United States, there are 81,714 confirmed cases with over 1,143 deaths. 

Many pet owners know how important the companion of our beloved animals can be, especially the joy they bring when you arrive home.

And now, as most of the population around the world is on lockdown, many pet owners have started to share funny pictures of how they currently cope with sharing “their territory” between them.

Bemorepanda has collected a compilation of top cute and adorable pictures that show how much joy and affection pets can bring during self-isolation.

As many of us are currently forced to stay indoors with all the gym closed, we must find innovative ways on how to keep ourselves fit.

And this is exactly what this dog owner is doing, playing with her dog in the backyard during self-isolation.

It does boost your immune system, keeps you fit and ultimately, it makes your pet much more happier.

So, if you have a dog, give it a try and let us know how did it go.

During the coronavirus pandemic, not only humans are suffering from the lockdown but also their pets.

 

While this is not the best time to exercise your dog outdoors, your dog still needs to exercise daily to maintain his health and stay happy.

 

A lack of exercise can lead to several problems including destroying furniture, chewing on costly items, hyperactive behaviour, increased anxiety, increased aggression and many more behavioural issues.

 

In this video, posted by Bemorepanda Instagram page, a dog is doing a workout by trying to get hold of the food. The video already gained thousands of views and is definitely something you should consider to keep your pet fit and healthy.

 

 

 

Pets dispel loneliness and anxiety, bring joy and maintain the well-being of those around them, many studies show, and not under normal circumstances, but in the isolation required during this period to limit the spread of coronavirus, they prove to be more than that.

After craving for a pet, Barney, the cavalier King Charles spaniel, could not have arrived at a better moment, says Marie Brown. “We picked him up the day before lockdown. The timing is a godsend.”

The puppy has helped her children, aged 12 and 15, adjust to life at home in Sevenoaks, Kent, without school, sport or much of a social life.

"I brought Barney home the day before the isolation was imposed. It was a perfect timing, "a woman confessed to The Guardian.

Barney is a king charles spaniel knight, and after a few years when the woman's two 12- and 15-year-olds insisted on a puppy, he entered their lives. Barney now helps them adapt to life in self-isolation, without school, without too many outdoor activities and without social life.

"Certainly Barney makes us less stressed and raises our morale," says the woman. He borrowed his neighbors' dog Somewhere in north London, Honey, a two-year-old cockapoo, smiles on the lips of a doctor struggling to withstand the crisis of coronavirus. "When my husband enters the house, she is there, waiting for him at the door. The next moment, he is on the floor and playing with Honey.

You can see how stress and fatigue and anxiety disappear, ”says a woman living in Highgate, London.

Someone else borrowed his dog, a griffin brussels named Loki, to the neighbors, "for their own good and his."

"We remember that life goes on"

"He is very sociable and cannot understand how he went from being treated like a star to seeing me and my husband daily," says Loki's mistress. "We are reminded that life goes on" Belle and Little Tyke, two London cats, are a comfort to a mother and her 11-year-old son living in Birmingham.

"We realized that when it all goes wrong, it is very nice to have them near us - we are reminded that life goes on," says the owner of the two cats.

The kid confesses that every time he feels worried or sad, he takes Little Tyke in his arms and immediately feels better.

The 18-reptile boy

Not only dogs and cats can be perfect pets. An 18-year-old from Wales says his reptiles have helped him overcome anxiety and depression.

It has 18 animals, including turtles, snakes and lizards. His favorite is Lily, a nine-month-old Argentine lizard.

"I have a special connection with her. I put my hand on the floor and run at me like a puppy, ”says the young man, for the British newspaper.

Animal adoptions in the UK have increased

Animal shelters have seen an increase in the number of adoptions in recent weeks, although most of them have been closed to the public.
