by max goldstein

domino the rabbit has a unique ability to make people smile. he is a certified therapy rabbit, which is rare in a field dominated by dogs. therapy pets visit hospitals, nursing homes and schools to provide affection to people in need.

domino shows extreme calmness and poise, and loves to be scratched behind his ears. he began sharing his therapeutic talents last year at an army base in edison, n.j., cheering up soldiers. ever since, domino has visited nursing homes, hospitals and other places where people are in need of a smile. the rabbit makes owner and upper west side resident nora beard very proud.
