Every day Juanita Mengel, a 67-year-old woman from the state of Ohio, wakes up and puts on her prosthesis(假肢). Then, Mengel does the same for Lola-Pearl, her colourful five-year-old cat. Lola-Pearl is missing her back left leg.

Besides dogs and cats, Pet Partners registers some other species as therapy animals, including horses, rabbits, rats, birds and alpacas(羊驼).
