Hospice Program Helps Patients Keep Pets

Pets are a central part of many peoples' lives, bringing comfort and companionship. Yet when someone becomes terminally ill, it can be difficult to keep up with a pet's care, or even keep a pet at all if the illness necessitates a move. One hospice program in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has developed an innovative program to allow people to keep their pets even as they face illness and death.
