In this 38th episode of Therapy Dog Talk, I spoke with Dr. Sunday Agbonika, a Veterinary Surgeon, dog trainer, and 2019 Mandela Washington Fellow, about his groundbreaking work in Animal-Assisted Interventions (AAI) in Nigeria, focusing on helping children with Autism. Dr. Sunday shares his journey of discovering AAI through a short documentary by Nathan Selove, which inspired him to bring this life-changing therapy to Nigeria.
In this episode, we discuss …
How Dr. Sunday discovered animal-assisted interventions through a short documentary.
Which animals Dr. Sunday partners with and what his dogs Tish and Bishop love about being Therapy Dogs.
How Dr. Sunday is bringing together his community and international leaders in AAI.
