From the Ted Talk by Yuko Morita: Why we need more dogs in hospitals
Unscramble the Blue Letters
The second bond is: between a facility dog and their hander, who live together twenty-four seven. We always spend holidays together too. This is very important; just getting together while working and saying 'Bye-Bye' after five doesn't make any sense. We sleep at night and Bailey sleeps with his head on my arm. The bond between a facility dog and their handler is the biass on which a facility dog works pfsislneorolay. Only the bond with me can convince Bailey to trust me to work together. But the truth is; you may think that a training dog will do anything I say, Bailey is a stubborn guy who goes only where he wants. To a direction he doesn't to want to go, he does like this. Can you see he is hanging on with all his might? Planting his feet firmly on the ground, digging his nails into it, he never goes where he doesn't want to. While walking on the street, I sometimes struggle with baleiy sitting there. People passing by always say laughing, 'That's troublesome'. But he has never refused to go to the hospital. On the contrary, he sometimes refuses to go home, squatting there, going back into the hospital ward. Dogs easily understand what people are tiinnkhg about them. Because there are many plepoe who love him, Bailey loves the hospital very much. Both a dog and people are mutually affected; that is where the facility dog belongs. This is why non-sentient toy dogs cannot make this happen. A rboot dog can not make this happen. The third bond is between Bailey and the medical stfaf. The handler of a facility dog is a medical staff. The reason why only medical staff can be a handler of a facility dog is: that a facility dog's work includes not only healing mentally, but also curing physically. Bailey and I sometimes take a part in the conversations where treatment crsuoes of ptinates are decided. I also figure out how our patient kids are and work out how to approach this patient. I also write on the medical charts. In this way, to be involved with seipicfc purpose is what only facility dogs are capable of, and why a hanlder of a facility dog must be certefiid medical staff. It has been five years since Bailey and I started working in jpaan. We have met thousands of children. We once met a kid in the triaemnl phase of disease and the kid could not eat. He wanted to but he couldn't eat; that was his situation. Given a sohrt span of time, both his family and nurses wished that he could enjoy whatever little amount of food he could. Then there was a suggestion made Bailey attended at his dneinr table. With Bailey, the kid was happy to sit up smiling. Saying, 'Bailey, look at me', though it was only a few mouthful, but he could managed to grab spaghetti into his mutoh. He could also enjoy ice cream, not being forced to do so, but wlniglily to do so. Only the peernsce of Bailey bedside could make that level of cnaghe. The bad impression of a hospital changed so much as to make children say, 'I want to be hstoailisepd to see Bailey'. With Bailey, kids can double their fun. With Bailey, kids can share tares and faers. Most children are discharged from hospital safe and sound. But sadly, some kids have to leave this world forever, and Bailey sometimes sleeps with them till just before their last moments. We say 'You know, Bailey's with you', 'It's warm, isn't?' to kids. The time goes on sadly but warmly. We sometimes atnted a funeral for children. When pearnts have to close the lid of their own child's coffin, can you imagine how they feel? In fact every family says 'We were really hppay to have Bailey with us'. They always say that. 'Before Bailey, the haotispl stay had been just so heart-wrenching'. 'With Bailey our kid's life changed so much'. These are what bereaved families said to us. A family who lost their child will reflect on their child everyday, through their long span of life. Remembering their child as 'a poor soul who went through so many painful operations; or remmnerbieg their child as 'a laughing kid sleeping with Bailey just before death; their feelings are completely different, aren't they? We wish to make a small portion of happiness in their heartbreaking memory. We wish the beveeard falmiy remember as many smiles of their kid as possible. The Facility Dog Programme is not an option, but nscieetsy for hospital care, that's what I sogntlry feel about it. Japan's madecil care is said to be the highest in the wlord. Not just curing disease, but also having an environment for healing disease more proactively is necessary, I think. For patients, they can't have too much fun. There are a lot of flticaiy dogs in Europe and the US, but in Japan we have only two. I would like to have facility dogs as a standard in Japanese hlpiostas and make Japanese hospitals a fun plcae to be in, even for patients who have medical cotdinonis. So many children who pssead away are watching for us from heaven. For those kids, I would like to make the Japanese medical fornt a place where I can be proud to say, 'Hey, it's a good hospital, isn't it?' (Applause)

Original Text
The second bond is: between a facility dog and their hander, who live together twenty-four seven. We always spend holidays together too. This is very important; just getting together while working and saying 'Bye-Bye' after five doesn't make any sense. We sleep at night and Bailey sleeps with his head on my arm. The bond between a facility dog and their handler is the basis on which a facility dog works professionally. Only the bond with me can convince Bailey to trust me to work together. But the truth is; you may think that a training dog will do anything I say, Bailey is a stubborn guy who goes only where he wants. To a direction he doesn't to want to go, he does like this. Can you see he is hanging on with all his might? Planting his feet firmly on the ground, digging his nails into it, he never goes where he doesn't want to. While walking on the street, I sometimes struggle with Bailey sitting there. People passing by always say laughing, 'That's troublesome'. But he has never refused to go to the hospital. On the contrary, he sometimes refuses to go home, squatting there, going back into the hospital ward. Dogs easily understand what people are thinking about them. Because there are many people who love him, Bailey loves the hospital very much. Both a dog and people are mutually affected; that is where the facility dog belongs. This is why non-sentient toy dogs cannot make this happen. A robot dog can not make this happen. The third bond is between Bailey and the medical staff. The handler of a facility dog is a medical staff. The reason why only medical staff can be a handler of a facility dog is: that a facility dog's work includes not only healing mentally, but also curing physically. Bailey and I sometimes take a part in the conversations where treatment courses of patients are decided. I also figure out how our patient kids are and work out how to approach this patient. I also write on the medical charts. In this way, to be involved with specific purpose is what only facility dogs are capable of, and why a handler of a facility dog must be certified medical staff. It has been five years since Bailey and I started working in Japan. We have met thousands of children. We once met a kid in the terminal phase of disease and the kid could not eat. He wanted to but he couldn't eat; that was his situation. Given a short span of time, both his family and nurses wished that he could enjoy whatever little amount of food he could. Then there was a suggestion made Bailey attended at his dinner table. With Bailey, the kid was happy to sit up smiling. Saying, 'Bailey, look at me', though it was only a few mouthful, but he could managed to grab spaghetti into his mouth. He could also enjoy ice cream, not being forced to do so, but willingly to do so. Only the presence of Bailey bedside could make that level of change. The bad impression of a hospital changed so much as to make children say, 'I want to be hospitalised to see Bailey'. With Bailey, kids can double their fun. With Bailey, kids can share tears and fears. Most children are discharged from hospital safe and sound. But sadly, some kids have to leave this world forever, and Bailey sometimes sleeps with them till just before their last moments. We say 'You know, Bailey's with you', 'It's warm, isn't?' to kids. The time goes on sadly but warmly. We sometimes attend a funeral for children. When parents have to close the lid of their own child's coffin, can you imagine how they feel? In fact every family says 'We were really happy to have Bailey with us'. They always say that. 'Before Bailey, the hospital stay had been just so heart-wrenching'. 'With Bailey our kid's life changed so much'. These are what bereaved families said to us. A family who lost their child will reflect on their child everyday, through their long span of life. Remembering their child as 'a poor soul who went through so many painful operations; or remembering their child as 'a laughing kid sleeping with Bailey just before death; their feelings are completely different, aren't they? We wish to make a small portion of happiness in their heartbreaking memory. We wish the bereaved family remember as many smiles of their kid as possible. The Facility Dog Programme is not an option, but necessity for hospital care, that's what I strongly feel about it. Japan's medical care is said to be the highest in the world. Not just curing disease, but also having an environment for healing disease more proactively is necessary, I think. For patients, they can't have too much fun. There are a lot of facility dogs in Europe and the US, but in Japan we have only two. I would like to have facility dogs as a standard in Japanese hospitals and make Japanese hospitals a fun place to be in, even for patients who have medical conditions. So many children who passed away are watching for us from heaven. For those kids, I would like to make the Japanese medical front a place where I can be proud to say, 'Hey, it's a good hospital, isn't it?' (Applause)
