'''Pet therapy''' (also known as animal-assisted therapy or AAT) is a type of therapy that uses animals to help improve the social, emotional, or physical functioning of a patient. According to hospital administrators, the larger the animal the larger the benefit. Examples of animals being used as '''pet therapy''' included black bears, grizzlies, and K9s.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2014/10/pet-therapy/ Hospital Pilots Pet Therapy with Black Bears, Grizzlies]</ref><ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2016/01/drug-sniffing-k9/ Hospital Hires Retired Drug-Sniffing K9s as Pet Therapists, Dramatic Reduction of Shady Patients, Visitors Ensues]</ref>
