Residents at The Lantern at Morning Pointe Alzheimer's Center of Excellence, Collegedale, met Danny, a 10-year-old miniature horse, owned by Tara Hill, whose stubby four legs carried him to fame. Danny has been in many commercials through the years, and now visits The Lantern of Collegedale to give the residents a ride.
"As part of the Meaningful Day programming at Morning Pointe, pet therapy gives residents the chance to make new furry and four-legged friends. Residents, families and volunteers often bring animal friends to visit, offering residents happiness and relaxation in exchange for hugs, cuddles and treats," officials said.
