2.For Kylie Jacobs,a young cancer patient,even a slight fever meant a stay in hospital; when she did go home,her health was so poor that she couldn't play or go to school.While the seven-year-old often felt hopeless,a visit from a special guest helped her forget,just for a moment."Seeing Petie helps take her attention away from what she's been missing.And,Petie is very special because there's only one Petie,"said Eric Jacobs,Kylie's dad.Petie is a little therapy(治疗)horse.He's bigger than a therapy dog,but much smaller than a horse.The 25-year-old horse visits children in Akron Children's Hospital and Rainbow Babies & Children Hospital in Cleveland.He's been volunteering for eighteen years and has no plans to stop.
"A visit from Petie is kind of fun and something they weren't expecting,"owner Sue Miller said."It just takes away why they are there."Miller and her husband,who own a horse therapy center,got Petie more than eighteen years ago.They first let him visit schools and nursing homes.Then Miller wondered if Petie could help at children's hospitals and she came to the hospital in Akrn.At first the officials were uncertain about his performance,but they decided to allow Petie to visit in a nearby building.As trust grew,he moved to the main hospital.
Petie is not just able to make children cry with joy and forget their problems.Miller remembers a moment when Petie walked up to the bedside of an unconscious boy,then dropped his head to gently rub the boy's hand.Without waking,the boy started petting Petie.As everyone watched in silence,a doctor noticed that Petie slowed his breathing to match the boy's.
"It was just a beautiful moment,"said Miller."I am just so lucky that I get a chance to be part of this horse's life and what he gets to do for others."
