The 81-year-old retired lawyer from West Vancouver lost is wife to ALS four years ago. But Cooper and their nine-year-old rescue dog remain a team, thanks in part to a dedicated group of volunteers who help care for seniors by caring for their dogs.
The non-profit was founded in the mid-2000s by a Nova Scotia gerontology wellness researcher who was taking note of the of the health benefits that come from pets. 'A dog like Lucky will alleviate the sadness and bring joy,' senior says With its famously dog-loving but rapidly aging population, Roman said the need for a little extra leash help on the North Shore is great.
The group can offer short-term fostering if a client requires a stay in hospital or trip out of town, and they will help find a new forever home if the client passes away or goes into long-term care, Roman said.
