When we are sick, there’s nothing more comforting than knowing that there are people (or animals) around us who share with our struggles.
More Than The Meds
A lot of people will agree that medicines aren’t the only essential things we need when we are sick. It also helps when our loved ones are there to hold our hand as we bravely fight our sicknesses.
Meet João
João has been battling with several health issues for months. He’s since been confined to his bed and surrounded by doctors as he recovers.
A Special Visitor
One day, a special visitor came by to check on him. It was Paçoca, a therapy horse.
Horses Can Serve Too
We’re familiar with therapy dogs helping people with their everyday lives, but we seldom hear of horses being used as therapy animals that comfort people with various illnesses.
Coletivo Inclusão
The Coletivo Inclusão is a non-profit organization that reaches out to people with special needs, and Paçoca is one of their special members who work wonders for sick people he visits.
Caught On Cam
João’s daughter, Audrie Spake, recorded the special moment her father shared with Paçoca, and we all live for it.
He’s In Tears
Just by seeing João’s reaction, we know that there’s an unexplainable feeling that rushed over him the moment Paçoca leaned his head on him.
An “Inexplicable Moment”
Audrie described the encounter as an “inexplicable moment.” Surely, João wasn’t the only one whose spirit was uplifted that day, but also everyone who witnessed the beautiful moment.
Watch João’s reaction when Paçoca paid him a visit in the video below.
