Pets Have Healing Powers

Every day, the presence of your own dog exerts a healng influence over you -- and you are not even aware of it. Sharon Sakson, author of PAWS & EFFECT: The Healing Power of Dogs, has tracked down scientific research that proves there are at least five ways the pet by your side is healing to you. Dogs can sniff out low blood sugar levels in diabetics, help autistic children, sense when a seizure is coming on, and provide natural, holistic relief for those living with mental and physical illness. Sharon will share which canine breeds have the strongest healing abilities. "You may listen more closely the next time your dog tries to tell you something," says Betty White, actress and author.
