Pam FlintPam Flint is a counseling psychologist who worked at a university counseling center for over twenty years. In 2002, she started the first Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) program at the University of North Texas (UNT) Counseling and Testing Center. Her irst canine coworker was Roxy, followed by Dakota, both of whom were yellow Labrador retrievers. Willow, a chocolate lab, joined the team two years before Flint's retirement. Since its inception, the AAT program has grown and won a university award for providing excellent service to students. Flint is scheduled to continue part-time therapy work and AAT at UNT's Frisco campus. Roxy the Therapy Dog is her first publication, inspired by her work with Roxy and her belief in the power of an animal's love to bring about emotional healing. Flint currently resides in Texas with her husband, Al, a rescue Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix named Zoey, and Willow, who loves to play Frisbee almost as much as Roxy did. Read More Read Less
