Furry friends offer a lot in the way of medicine and therapy during cancer treatment. In this episode, young adults talk with Karen Casto of Canine Assistants about the role of animals as supports during cancer.

From pure entertainment to incentive to exercise to quiet, non-judgmental companionship, the young adults speak of their own pets and the Penn State Health therapy dog trained at Canine Assistants.
