Remember my dolphin internship?

Well, I just received an email the other day from the director of Dolphin Human Therapy, Dr. Dave telling all about his new therapy center. Some of you may remember he was beginning to do research about the use of animatronic dolphins since the use of real dolphins brings up a lot of issues-- cost, legality, weather, etc. In a nutshell, his research has shown that the same results can be achieved with these 'robot' dolphins. He's created a therapy center which will have therapy with the dolphins, miniature horses, dogs, art, music, and a huge sensory garden. It sounds pretty amazing. Anyway just wanted to share the info since that experience was big in my life. Here's the website if you want to check it out, and you can watch a video of these fake dolphins.. www.iactcenter.com
