Magnum met Dr. Karen Wyatt when she was the keynote speaker at a Hospice Conference he attended. She is a wonderful speaker (and writer) with a beautiful heart for end of life issues with an emphasis on the spiritual aspects of illness and dying. Dr. Wyatt told Magnum that she would love to interview him some day about his Pet Therapy work with hospice patients at Hospice of Southern Illinois. True to her word, the interview took place on May 18th. The interview can be found below.
We sincerely thank Dr. Wyatt for the opportunity to tell Magnum's story and preserve it for people to enjoy. He has quite a story, from his birth with CHAMP Assistance Dogs, to training in maximum security prison to caring for hospice patients at Relais Bonne Eau Hospice home located in Edwardsville, IL.
We hope your heart will be tickled and your mind will enjoy learning about
The Power of Pet Therapy.
With deep appreciation for our listeners,
Miss Carol and Magnum
