Argos the amazing therapist Dog

By Anelvi and Mauricio Mogollon | Therapist / Organization Development

Argos continues teaching with a lot of love and with its great example, during this quarter, Argos have worked with children on regard their personal hygiene. Argos is implementing activities at first to create a safety and comfortable environment. Argos is showing how easy is to brush the teeth, wash the hands, clean the little faces and how to comb the hair. All these activities has allowed parents to loose their fear about their children developing these simple activities on their own.

Despite having blue days, (when Argos has pain due to his arthritis) Argos does his best with all children with all the love that characterize him. 

Argos has provided 311 therapies visiting homes and communities. Argos great achievement is involved parents in their children activities. During 79 therapies mothers of children with disability developed activities with their children, learning techniques to implement therapies in their own home.

Children are happier working with their mothers, it is a moment between mother and children that allows them to get to know each other.

The presence of Argos allows a relaxed, dynamic, flexible and interactive environment for the children. Their motivation when implementing activities is to give cookies to Argos and feel his happiness and gratitude.

The Argos´s mission will continue, teaching children with much love and tenderness so that they achieve autonomy, improving their skills.
