Pet Therapy as a child

As a child, at times, I could relate better with animals-i.e. horses or dogs.

Sometimes at my friends birthday parties; I w2ould end up spending more time with the birthday kids dog then the birthday party. I do not know when I realized that this was apart of my disability of when I realized how hard it can be for me to speak to people. Brain injury is an interesting condition. The condition of the brain sometimes does not allow people to get the words that they think they are saying. Sometimes it is only said in your head because you cannot get the words out of your mouth. A dog or horse understand this and have a sense for the disabled who cannot speak but the body can express the need. The horse or dog can read this.

This is what, as a child, I lived with. Recently; in 2009, was the first time that I started to realize the condition of why this occurs.

So; as a child, I thought I was very different. However; this was just an affect of the stroke.
