Thanks to the friendly look of a furry friend, fear retreats and a smile return. This is a story of special four-legged friends that help many children hospitalised at the Regina Margherita facility. The children here have many different complaints but all have a common experience: discomfort, suffering and a huge upheaval in their life. This wonderful project run by the charity Forma Onlus is the product of more than 15 years’ work by the association’s volunteers, performed at the paediatric hospital of Turin, making it as welcoming as possible for the children.
