Isn't that often the case for most Disabled and Elderly persons in Malaysia?
But you still wish to be kept informed about PETPOSITIVE'S super duper activities and how you can participate?
No worries folks. We have just the thing for you!
The Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and the Elderly Association (PETPOSITIVE) will very shortly be coming out with our very first print newsletter.
Aptly named POSITIVE LIVES! It will be a four-page quarterly.
Also called PLN for short, with the letter "N" for Newsletter, each edition will cover our main highlights of our activities every three months.
The purpose of the PLN is to keep our Disabled and Elderly Members - as well as our ardent supporters - abreast of all Petpositive's activities.
The first copy will be our July to September issue. It will be covering some of the following events:
- Looking back at our highly successful Petpositive launching and charity dinner event last July in words and pictures.
- Recapping our first AGM last year when animal-assisted therapy (AAT) was born in our country.
- Looking forward to our first AAT session with the Disabled and Elderly in FRIM on Tuesday.
PLN has been made possible through the kind sponsorship of Mr Tan Teik Poh from K-9 Pets SDN BHD and Diamond Pet Foods.
The Penangite, among other things, is a professional dog-trainer and lover of all animals.
He has been a long-time supporter of pets as special companions for the disabled and the elderly.
Here is a picture of him present as one of PETPOSITIVE'S VIPs at our charity dinner at The Legend Hotel in Kuala Lumpur three months ago.

Mr Tan was also instrumental in sponsoring Malaysia's first service dog training programme by Bivai Special Dogs in KL in 2001. The VIP launching that event was Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir who is also Bivai Special Dogs' Patron.
The End.
