6 6  **Effectiveness of the dog therapy for patients with dementia**
7 7  
8 -The article is a systematic review of studies on the effectiveness of dog therapy for patients with dementia. The author analyzed 15 studies and found that dog therapy can have a positive impact on the behavior, mood, and cognitive function of patients with dementia. Specifically, the studies showed that dog therapy can reduce agitation and aggression, improve socialization and communication, and increase physical activity and mobility. The author notes that the quality of the studies varied, with some studies having small sample sizes or methodological limitations. Nonetheless, the article suggests that dog therapy may be a promising intervention for improving the quality of life of patients with dementia and recommends further research in this area [[(Klimova et al., 2019).>>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6731615/||style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"]] Further studies about animal assisted therapy (AAT) show that it reduces loneliness in elderly people and suggest that AAT reduces aggression and agitation in people with dementia.
