can be a good idea for those old folks that are with a good health... i have been to a lot of old folks house... they really need some companion... animals actually will light up their day... there is a 70 year old man, has a parrot... he teach the parrot so sing... and actually cheer up all those old folks that are staying there...

however... not all of the old folks are with a great health... there is one 65 year old grandma... love dogs so much... she has her dog living with her in the old folks house... but then due to he health, she couldn't take care of herself... how could she take care of her dog...?? the volunteer doesn't have much time to take care of the dog either... they have things to take care off... in the end, the 65 year old grandma have to let go of her dog that have been with her for 10 years... i can see tears coming out from her eyes... i can actually feel how she felt... where, his son dump her in the old folks house... where she had her only dog as her companion... and then have to be apart...
