AMY PITTS OF New Haven and her therapy dog, Ginger, prepare for their first visit to the Eastview retirement home last month, where they met with seniors who don’t get to have as much contact with pets as they once did.
NEW HAVEN — Fourteen-year-old Amy Pitts likes animals. She has a horse and a three-year-old Sheltie named Ginger.
The New Haven teen recently began sharing that love for animals with folks at the Eastview retirement community in Middlebury. She put her dog and herself through a therapy dog training, and now visits residents there and gives them the opportunity to stroke Ginger and reminisce about the pets they’d owned over the years.
