Murray and Daphne David recently donated money to the Northeast Georgia Medical Center to fund a garden where patients could have their pets brought to them for a visit when the owner is ill or recovering at the hospital. The Davids share their home with pets Leo the dog and Pumpkin the cat.
Pet therapy is a common form of treatment for many individuals. However, patients who are hospitalized for long periods of time often spend weeks and even months away from their pets since animals are not allowed in hospitals. But Northeast Georgia Medical Center plans to change that.
