Be a Friend in Need...

Each year within the United States there are over 20 million children who are hospitalized. Whether a child has suffered a trauma, is being treated for a broken bone or a life-threatening disease, a hospital visit can become a frightening experience.  

Nearly 90 percent suffer emotional upsets because of the hospital stay. Thirty percent of all hospitalized children suffer severe psychological disturbances.  This is stressful for parents and caregivers who want to be with the child during every moment, but often cannot.

And this is why Owie BowWowie™ was created... T o provide comfort companions to those who need a pawsitive hug.
