Dolphin Therapy fact or fiction

I read a lot of articles about Dolphin therapy and I wonder to myself is it fact or fiction.   The answer is I don't know.  I do believe that animals of all types benefit humans to a far greater extent than we can ever know.   I think about how many times I just reach out and pet the dog for no other reason than I want to.  How I look forward to my dog greeting me when I get home from work.  I think about how I feel when she is not well or has hurt herself.   I know that I feel better with her around.  I also know that when I work with and interact with the dolphins I also feel a sense of pleasure and relief.  I feel some of my stresses going away and a sense of calmness.  I guess it is considered a sense of therapy however I am unsure if it has a lasting effect.   I also take into account why little children and pregnant women should not interact with the Dolphins.  I know that the dolphin senses when they are near and their instincts take over and want to interact with them.   I can assure you that this is not in a bad way but the risks are too great.    So is Dolphin therapy real?  I am not sure.   But I do know that anything that makes you feel this great can't be bad for you.   Here is a link to a very good article that I have found.  You can decide for yourself.  Comments?  

Why Dolphin Cove?

Why do people come to visit us at Dolphin Cove,    There are many answers to that but the simplest is because we have something to offer everyone.   From the second you get through the doors there is something to do.   Pet a bunny, pet a bird, hold a snake, a lizard, kiss a dolphin, swim with the stingrays, hold a shark.  The list goes on.   To be honest though.  Once of my favourite things to do is to sit by the bar with a cold water / soda / beer you name it and watch the people interacting.   This is like a child at their birthday party.  The sheer joy people have its worth all the effort.
