Are dogs the answer to our problems?
A local charity has been helping young children become more comfortable around pet animals.
Paws for Therapy uses dogs to provide comfort and therapy at nurseries and schools, to help improve people's mental well-being.
The charity aims to help prepare children for more challenging situations and welcoming a pet into their home.
