About the Book

The Visit: Tails of the PAWS-itive Healer is a deeply moving memoir that chronicles the extraordinary journey of a nurse who transformed patient care through the integration of therapy dogs into a hospital setting.
Drawing from real-life experiences, the book reveals how Maggie and Bentley—two intuitive and compassionate canine companions—became catalysts for emotional, psychological, and even physical healing.
From pediatric wards to intensive care units, their presence brought comfort where words could not, offering a new dimension of care rooted in empathy and connection.
As highlighted in the manuscript, healing is not always clinical—it is often emotional, spiritual, and profoundly human.
This book is a powerful reminder that sometimes, the most effective medicine comes without a prescription.
