In times of epidemic, with visitors restricted, many residents in nursing homes have felt lonely and separated from the world, so animals have become an especially important way to lift their spirits. At Senior Living Sobriety in Scotland, seniors recently got their very own puppy (幼犬).

Gracie is a tiny golden retriever (金毛寻回犬) who lives with Pam Little, the social service manager for Senior Living Society. Every day, Gracie goes to work with Pam, and her official job is to be sweet and adorable to everyone she meets. Needless to say, she is skilled at her day job! She has quickly become a beloved member of the family for the seniors who live there.

“We’ve seen a lot of changes since she came,” Pam said.“We’ve seen a lot of smiles and hugs. It’s giving them a lot to talk about apart from what they’ve seen in their daily life.”

Gracie now visits with about 30 old people each day. Pam stays with Gracie the whole time to make sure everything goes smoothly. The precious pup has been bridging the gap for many of these residents who have been missing their friends and family during the epidemic.

Experts say pets like Gracie provide many health benefits for seniors, including increased mental and physical activity. Having a dedicated in-house dog enables nursing home residents to get all the goodness that comes with having a pet — with none of the stress or responsibilities.

Puppy hugs are no doubt a way to put a smile on anyone’s face! These lucky residents get to watch Gracie grow up and be a big part of her life. More nursing homes are considering following suit on this trend.
