Moods Among Teens in Treatment Improved With The Help Of Dogs
A new, mood-boosting therapy is being prescribed for teenagers in drug and alcohol treatment by Lindsay Ellsworth: shelter dogs.

This way, dogs can enjoy more exercise, he added.

With swimming pools for dogs already used in pet-care resorts, Elin said the tennis court idea would definitely catch on.
