Most people LOVE pets. They make people happy. But unfortunately many seniors who are living alone or who are living in an assisted living facility/nursing home cannot have a live pet. I took the Hasbro Joy For All Companion Pets to my grandma's nursing home. WOW! Everyone loved them so much. The staff went nuts, but most importantly, the seniors were in love. My mom took a video of me showing Sam and his wife the Habro pets. Sam has Alzheimer's disease and is not very happy all the time. When I gave him the Hasbro dog, he fell in love. It was so wonderful to see Sam so joyful. Sam gets mad a lot and sometimes cries. It is very hard to live with dementia. Spending just a few minutes with the Hasbro dog made him enjoy himself. The whole nursing room floor was laughing and having fun. PLEASE, if you can, get a Hasbro Companion Pet for your loved one. I PROMISE you that they will have a good time and you will have one, too!
