Suvarnamitra And Their �Joy Therapy�

My friend, Kon, and his wife are part of the Suvarnamitra group, a group of people committed to provide assistance to and bring cheer to the elderly.

Joy is a poodle they rescued (took over from the previous owner). Joy was in pretty bad shape when Kon and family took her, but is now a bubbly, happy and much-loved pet.

Hillary is Kon’s daughter and she and her friends formed the Kinabalu-4, the group of teens who scaled Mt Kinabalu (led by Kon) and raised RM16,000 for AnimalCare in 2012.

When Joy and Hillary visited us after the Kinabalu expedition:�http://myanimalcare.org/2013/01/01/hillary-of-the-kinabalu-4-team-visits-with-joy-their-rescued-poodle/

Last week, Kon and Hillary�brought Joy to visit my father. My father has been bedridden for sometime now. He had hip replacement, burhole surgery on his brain and recently, suffered 4 broken ribs due to a fall.

Kon sent these photos today and wrote:

This is the first time I see your dad’s smile.

I almost cried when your dad spoke with us and thanked Hillary and me for coming.�

My father does not usually speak. He is very quiet and sometimes, not lucid.

But this visit clearly brought him much joy.

Joy (the poodle) is not a trained therapy dog, but the mere presence of Joy brought so much JOY to my father!

Thank you, Joy, Kon and Hillary!
