Man and His Dog Bring Comfort to Amherstview Residents

Over the last few years, visits to a long-term care home in Amherstview by an elderly man and his dog have generated more than just happiness for the residents and staff who greet them. It brings purpose and meaning to the man and animal who visit.


“I look forward to my visits to the home with Josie,” says Alan Harrison, an 88-year-old Amherstview man who brings his four-year-old rescue dog, Josie, to Helen Henderson Care Centre three days a week. “If I’m every unable to make it, I miss not going. It’s become a way of life. It’s good for me and Josie.”


Speaking from his home in late February 2026, Alan was a regular visitor to Helen Henderson where his wife, Jean, resided from 2013 to 2016. After her death, he loved the home and its people so much, he continued to return.


“I just kept coming,” he says with a kind smile. “It seemed like the right thing to do. Josie is all I have got; I don’t have any family. The home has become my family.”


Loved by the residents and staff, Alan and Josie’s visits are the highlight of the day for many. The two arrive with a smile and a wagging tail. The handler greets everyone by name, showing patience and genuine interest. Often watching them is Activation Director Donna Joudoin who can’t say enough about the joyful pair.


“Alan has been a family member, as well as a volunteer, for many years at our home,” explains Donna. “He brings Josie here a couple of times a week through our pet therapy program which is incredibly meaningful because it enhances everyone’s quality of life. Alan and Josie bring comfort and companionship to our residents, families and staff who are always so happy to see them. Pet therapy is important because it sparks memories and encourages conversation. Pet therapy also reduces anxiety and loneliness and offers emotional support. It is a great person-centred program. Alan often jokes that he is not sure who people are happier to see, him or Josie. We always let Alan know that they both bring great joy to our home”


“They love Josie,” Alan says with a laugh when asked about his beautiful pet. “There’s something about a dog. They keep you going and they love you unconditionally.


Alan admits the two look forward to visiting the home every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.


“I have great respect for the staff,” says the kind man. “This is a good place to be. You’re well looked after here.”


Helen Henderson Care Centre is grateful for the love and support of Alan and Josie. To learn more about living or working in our home, please call 613-384-4585.
