This Labor Day, we’re thinking about work in all its forms.
Not just the jobs we clock into, but the unseen work of caring for loved ones, the emotional weight of memory loss, and the determination of researchers pushing toward answers.

🐾💙 **Happy National Dog Day from the Center for Memory and Aging!** 💙🐾

Today, we celebrate the special bond between humans and dogs—and recognize the powerful role dogs can play in the lives of people living with Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.

For individuals experiencing cognitive decline, dogs offer more than just companionship. They provide emotional support, help reduce anxiety and agitation, and encourage daily routines and physical activity, all of which can improve quality of life and promote cognitive wellness.

Therapy and companion dogs are increasingly being integrated into dementia care, where their calming presence and unconditional love bring comfort and connection—sometimes when words no longer can.

🐶 On this National Dog Day, we honor the dogs who support our patients, families, and care partners every day. Thank you for helping us remember, connect, and care.

Thanks to our staff who sent us photos of their sweet dogs too!
