Dogs bring joy to special needs children

IDU director Yekutiel Ben-Yaakov commented: “We salute our volunteers who, even during Passover, will leave everything to bring light and joy to the life of those with special needs, along with their canine companions. Such an effort brings happiness not only to the individuals with special needs but also a much-needed degree of freedom to their parents, who must care for them year-round. We are happy to carry out this holy task.”
