Behind the Line graduates two new therapy dogs, gearing up to hit local organizations

DELMARVA. – Behind the Line is providing two therapy dogs to people in need.

Benji the silver lab and Pod the greyhound recently graduated from their therapy dog courses and will be hitting different organizations to spread love and positivity to those with mental health disorders.

Behind the Line spokesperson, Heather Brown, said the positive impacts that animals, specifically dogs, can have on humans can be enough to pull people out of any hardship.

“Research is really starting to show that using animals as a stress relief is positive. There’s physiological, along with emotional benefits to having a dog come in and giving a few minutes of down time and distraction,” Brown said.
