Benji, just Benji.

A therapy animal is a trained animal that can be used as a tool during intervention for the purposes of motivation, emotional regulation, and as an engaging activity. Benji is a therapy animal and LOVES to love and play. Families are welcome to accept or decline Benji has an optional therapy tool.
