Therapy Kangaroo


Kanga-brouhaha: Christie Carr puts her partially paralyzed kangaroo, Irwin, into a car seat for the ride to visit a nursing home in Broken Arrow, Okla. Irwin has been a blessing to Carr, who suffers from depression, and nursing home patients love to cuddle with him, but local bureaucrats haven't decided whether to give her an exemption to keep the therapy pet. They are concerned a sweet-natured, disabled kangaroo could be a public-safety risk.

Great helping seniors and a gal with depression and is partially paralyzed itself. Oh well we can't have that now.
