Rusty is a nine-year-old Australian
shepherd who had no obvious health problems at all. He had stopped
jumping on the bed and was having trouble getting in the car but the
owners attributed that to his getting older. He began receiving massages
as a treat. The results surprised his owners. He began jumping on the
bed regularly and flying into the car. He also became less aggressive
with other dogs. He was more willing to play then he ever had been
before and he often initiated the play with his younger beagle brother.
Rusty’s physical and mental changes were a delight and an added bonus
to the feel good experience.
