Behavioral Health patients at Unity Health are getting to experience the joys of animal therapy thanks to their new furry friend, Echo. This Labrador provides healing and hope for those enduring difficult times, and he takes his role seriously while wagging his tail and sharing his affection. Echo’s handler, Madelynn Wauters, is an occupational therapy student at University of Central Arkansas, where she will soon graduate with her degree. For her doctoral capstone she sought the opportunity through Central Arkansas Pet Partners, to transform Echo from being a duck-hunting pet, to a therapy animal, helping patients through their treatment programs. Echo loves treats, playing fetch, cuddling and serving others. Wauters said her favorite part of working with him is seeing the smiles on everyone’s faces and knowing he has made a difference in someone’s day. She shares in dog-lovers’ lingo, that she wants everyone to know, Echo is the “goodest boy!”
