Unusual Volunteers
“Come here! What a good boy!” Those were words I never expected to hear from my mum when I visited her in hospital. Mum has been sick for a long time now, and she often seemed

sad and tired. I didn’t expect to hear her
laughing. It has been a long time since I heard my mum sounding so happy! But when I rounded the corner, I understood everything.
Mum had a very unusual visitor—a dog!
A regular volunteer at the hospital, Anna, was there with her therapy dog, Banjo. Anna was

kind enough to share her story with me. An animal lover from an early age, Anna has always had a dog or two at home since she was
young. Often, just playing with them was enough to help her feel happy and relaxed after a long day. But one day, Anna realized
share... with... 把……与……分享
that not everyone was lucky enough to have a pet. She started thinking: What could she do Could she work with her own dogs to help
others
Before long, she found the answer. Today, Anna and Banjo often visit places like hospitals and nursing homes to bring a moment of joy to people who are sick, sad, lonely, or disabled.

Banjo has worked as a therapy dog for almost three years. When people are stressed, it often
takes them longer to get better. A therapy dog helps people feel better and be less stressed, often just by being there! At the hospital, Mum
petted Banjo, gave him a snack, and even

threw a small ball for him to catch. This made her forget that she was sick, if only for a moment.
For people like my mum, moments like this are very valuable. She always looks forward to my visits, but now she also looks forward to seeing Anna and Banjo again.

1. How can therapy dogs help people to feel less
stressed
2. What qualities do you think a therapy dog should
have
3. Can you think of any other ways to help people in
hospital
Possible version
1. How can therapy dogs help people to feel less stressed
Therapy dogs can help people feel less stressed by being friendly and calm. Petting a dog can make a person feel happy and relaxed.
2. What qualities do you think a therapy dog should have
A therapy dog should be gentle and patient. It should not get angry or scared easily, even around many people or in new places. It should also be well-behaved, so it won’t jump on people or cause trouble.
3. Can you think of any other ways to help people in
hospital
Yes. We can bring flowers or cards with kind words to cheer them up. We can also read short stories to kids in hospital, so they don’t feel bored. Sometimes just sitting and talking gently to patients helps them feel less lonely too.
