The SPCA started the programme in 1988 and in 2003 partnered with St John but has since withdrawn, leaving St John alone to operate the service around the country. “When we go into rest homes it brings back memories of pets people had in the past and gives them the chance to pat the dog and chat with the owner. “We’ve got 180 teams of one person teams with their pets.” Hall said visits could improve both the physical and emotional health of residents in homes and health facilities. Another part of the scheme was going into schools with the Reading Education Assistance Dogs programme.
