The dogs would also encourage the owners to take them out for walks.“It gives a reason for the owner to go out into the community,” Ms Gray said. “We did a test with an elderly person walking down the high street on his own.Then we gave him a dog on a lead and he did the exact same walk.That time people would come up to him, chatting or smiling and making eye contact.We hope we'd see this with people with dementia too.”
There is one more advantage of using the pets as companions.Since conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with dementia, dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship.Ms Gray said,“We have found that people may forget familiar faces but not pets.People light up when they see animals.There is a speechless bond between the dog and its owner.”
