   There is a show on CNN right now called Vital Signs – it’s about how animals help with people with medical conditions. You might be able to catch a re-broadcast later or find it online, IDK.

     Could it be this one? It’s a segment, a little less than 10 minutes, but really well done.

       Can’t watch the video but it was probably part of the program. The show I saw was 30 minutes and included segments on therapy dogs working in a children’s hospital, cancer sniffing dogs and therapy llamas at a nursing home in Portland.

   A vet is facing 15 charges of animal abuse. Warning: graphic written description of abuse and death of animals, no photos.

   Side note, I think this the first time I ever saw a news agency put the tamest charges as the title.
