Let a dog show you how to smile

“Never Bean Better Day is about sharing joy of life with delight,” said Michelle Drager, spokesperson for the day as well as Bean’s handler (https://tinyurl.com/y3pk6h9w) .This is a relatively new celebration, started in 2017 to honor the contributions made by Bean, Golden Retriever therapy dog from Morgantown, Pennsylvania. Bean himself is a cancer survivor. The day was chosen because it is Bean’s birthday and he turns 11 this year. “This fun day recognizes the unconditional love dogs bring to human lives, and encourages all of us to live in the moment,” said Drager.

Never Bean Better Day reminds us of the joy that is available from owning a dog, whether it is a little lap dog or a huge guard dog. The relationship that can be developed with a dog is priceless, and Never Been Better Day asks us to remember that.

If you have a dog who, like Bean, would be a great comfort dog or therapy dog, there are steps to take to develop the training. Petco offers some advice, starting with training your pet to be well-behaved. See https://tinyurl.com/TherapyDogAdivce for more information. After the more specified education, perhaps a day can be named for your pet.
