There are two
animals trained for service: dog and horse. They help plenty of cases, from mental disorders to palliative care. Miraculously, these admirable animals can do things that even specialists can't, one of which is to ease and melt hearts at the same time.

In February 2021, João Eber da Rocha,
Audri Spake's father, a hardworking driver, was in a truck accident. After being rescued and receiving medical treatment, his condition was stable, but he was immobilized, which saddened Audri day by day.

Hoping to comfort her bedridden father's heart, Audri took him on a visit to Fazenda Rio Grande, where the headquarters of
Coletivo Inclusão, a non-profit organization that promotes the inclusion of people in vulnerable situations, were located. Among the activities they promoted, equine therapy - therapy with horses, was available.

On that day, a therapy horse named Paçoca approached him in such a way that it seemed to transmit infinite love. The horse rested his head on João, who was lying on a bed. For a moment, the horse closed his eyes as if to affirm that everything would be fine. The emotional, unexpected encounter made the man burst into tears. Paçoca kept comforting him like that for all the time they were together.
