Support animals come in all shapes and sizes. We normally hear about support and service dogs, which are fantastic, but there are also plenty of cats providing comfort and support for people. Take Truffles, the glasses-wearing cat! Truffles "works" with her optometrist mom in helping kids accept and celebrate their glasses. As a kid who hated to wear my glasses, I'd have to say that it would be very comforting to see a cat with them on, too.
Many of the kids who visit Truffles have other worries plaguing them, too, from eye surgeries and other uncomfortable treatments, like patching. Truffles even patches along with the kids, covering one side of her glasses with a patch to match the patients. Dr. Crull, her owner, says that she's truly magical, and we don't doubt it. How cool to have a support buddy like Truffles by your side.
