Ongoing partnership project between ArcadeCampfa and Hafan y Coed adult psychiatric unit at Llandough Hospital, looking at the beneficial relationships between humans and animals, specifically the therapy dogs who visit the unit. Through weekly workshops and ward based activity, inpatients are invited to spend time with the dogs, drink tea, relax and make art with them. Images show some of the resulting work which was exhibited at Turner House in the Summer of 2024
