EMOTIONAL SUPPORT DOG - Brao

Learn more

Share:

Brao

In 2019, the Foundation’s contribution enabled the Youth Protection Branch (YPB) to acquire Brao, an emotional support dog trained by the Mira Foundation, to provide support and comfort to children and teenagers going through stressful or anxiety-inducing situations. This project was a huge success, with tangible results and a skyrocketing demand for the beloved dog. It was then that Brao’s two handlers had the idea of purchasing cuddly toys made in Brao’s likeness to distribute to the children he meets. Thanks to these cute stuffed replicas, young and old alike can enjoy Brao’s comforting presence even when he’s not around. Research has shown that the presence of a pet helps decrease stress in children dealing with trauma. Thanks to a $30,000 investment by the Foundation, the Youth Protection Branch (YPD) was able to acquire Brao, a Mira emotional support dog.
