Meet Max, a certified therapy dog working with Royal Trinity Hospice and Pets As Therapy. Animal-Assisted Intervention (AAI) is clinically proven to lower cortisol levels, ease anxiety, and trigger oxytocin release through gentle physical touch.

While Max's vital everyday mission is providing comfort and dignity to patients, families, and healthcare staff in hospice care, this commute shows how trained therapy animals naturally de-escalate stress and foster empathy in everyday public environments.
