A spokesman for the vets practice said: "As pet owners we love the way pets make us smile and we get a warm feeling from sharing our lives with pets.

"Sharing that feel good feeling that pets give us with those people not able to own a dog is what Pets As Therapy is all about.

"Every week, thousands of people benefit from the visits provided by Pets As Therapy volunteer teams."
