A support animal story for the Fiction/Nonfiction Club

A Llama Who is A Charmer

by June Sargent


Travis has a smile that can soothe the most agitated soul. And he loves to share kisses with residents of the Life Care Center at Nashoba Valley in Massachusetts.

Every few weeks you can see Travis slowly ambling through the hallways of the nursing home. Residents, including those confined to wheelchairs, are excited and are eager to pet him.

Even the quietest and shyest patients come out of their shells to greet Travis. The interaction brings joy to those who need it the most.

This charming llama is a star who brings light to a place that could be filled with darkness - if not for the caring staff who maintain a warm atmosphere of love.
