Having read the article about Sarah Cachia’s idea for a pet cabin at Mater Dei Hospital (March 1), I wish to congratulate her for starting such a project. It is a well known fact that pets help patients to a quick recovery, even by just stroking them for a few minutes.

I happened to be at Mater Dei three years ago in the same ward as Cachia and her son. She was always ready to help when I was unhappy and lost. I missed my pets too.

My family was considering putting me in a wheelchair to take me outside the hospital doors, just to cuddle my two dogs. Fortunately, I was discharged two days later.

I hope Cachia gets all the help she needs and I wish her the best of luck.
