Win Wagner from Yeppoon QLD posted on 13 Oct 2012 9:04:10 AM It is easy to give money to a good cause, but the time and effort offered by the wonderful people in this program is far more valuable.
sharon anderson from thirlmere 2572 posted on 13 Oct 2012 7:31:07 AM very emotional, The information was very informative and the choice of music was perfect. I know from experience the emotional empowerment pets make within our body and minds.

Lyn Marshall from Noosa, Queensland posted on 12 Oct 2012 11:27:57 AM This is a lovely short film highlighting a need in the community that is being fulfilled by the fabulous Care Pet carers. So lovely to see the smiles on the faces of the elderly that they visit and to see the pride in the carers faces. Well done Craig and the rest of the Carers!

julia jones from kangaroo valley posted on 12 Oct 2012 8:49:40 AM Great - I work in an aged care facility and know how much pleasure the older person gets from having a visit from a pet and their owners.

Glenda Weldon from Sydney posted on 10 Oct 2012 11:49:27 AM What a delightful film and a fantastic program! Congratulations to all involved.
Dalia Sinclair from Sydney posted on 9 Oct 2012 10:52:14 PM This is a worthy program with volunteers enjoying an opportunity to share their love of animals with others and offering those who are frail and in need of tender care an interaction with others such as people and pet owners. The disabled gain a sense of pride by sharing their love to their pet with others. Well done.
Brenda from Kurrajong posted on 9 Oct 2012 6:15:25 PM Definitely a win - win for everyone, what a great idea!
Kathryn Searle from Mittagong posted on 8 Oct 2012 10:38:36 PM This film has highlighted an excellent program. Not only are the pets valued by the elderly and sick but the carepet carers feel valued by the work they do.
Sylvia Brew from Bowral posted on 8 Oct 2012 9:43:58 PM It is so lovely to see the reaction of elderly people to pets which somehow seem to be able to get through to even those who can no longer recognise their loved ones. This is such a wonderful program because it brings such joy to the owners as well as those being visited.
Great to see Naomi engaging with people in her community.
Ruth McDonald from Valley Heights posted on 8 Oct 2012 5:26:58 PM A delightful film of a wonderful, caring program

Jill Ross from Canberra posted on 4 Oct 2012 7:22:27 PM I Think This Is A Wonderful Way To Show How People With Disabilities Can Actually Give Back To The Community And With The Help Of Their Pets, To Raise Their Self-esteem And To Give Them Life-long Skills. Well Done Care Pets!
Irwi Ross from Canberra posted on 4 Oct 2012 7:09:52 PM This Is A Terrific Idea! It's A Great Way To Help Those With Suitable Dogs To Interact With Others In The Community On A Much Greater Level Than Taking A Dog For A Walk. It Gives An Immence Amount Of Confidence And Imput Into The Community For Both The Owner And The People They Visit.
