Posted: Updated:

We've all heard about how having animals can be good for you.

They calm you down, lower your blood pressure and just make you feel good.

Your News Now reports on one particular animal that visited to a local hospital today, bringing there, plenty of good medicine.

Meet Zorian....He's 27 years old and he's heading to work.

His job on this day, visiting patients at Lima Memorial Health System's Transitional Care Center.

The mini horse is a service animal...and visits with those in the hospital, helping to replace the pain and suffering of the patients with smiles, for at least a little while.

Mini Adventures Inc. out of Waynesfield brings the horses around to hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living facilities as a type of pet therapy.

Mini Adventures is a non profit organization and relies on donations to help take care of the horses.
