Having a bad day at the hospital? Tell your four-legged, furry penpal about it…he just might understand. Our Youth and Pet Survivors Program (YAPS) matches cancer patients with pets also suffering from cancer. As part of the program, kids exchange handwritten letters with dog and cat owners. Even though they know the pet owners are writing the letters, the children talk to the animals. They express themselves on paper in ways they dont verbally express to family and doctors, said Anne Gillespie, a Children’s Colorado nurse who founded YAPS.
