The couple heard about the St John therapy pets programme not long after moving into Ryman Healthcare’s Devonport village in 2021, and now take Maggie to visit residents in the village care centre three times a week.

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
