The human body has evolved over a period to have characteristics that preserve itself. A great example of such a characteristic is the human body’s response to being struck by a mallet on the knee. This reaction actually developed over time to help correct a person’s balance if they were to lose it suddenly (Weiner, 2010). The signal from the knee to the brain and back would not happen quickly enough to prevent a fall and thus our bodies have evolved to have this reaction without the brain being

Animal assisted therapy, which includes the dog in the actual therapeutic process, allows a child to view the dog as a model and reassurance. The dog is a nonjudgmental entity, which augments the level of self-esteem the child is internalizing and stimulates their communication of feelings. Gereal P.
