Posted: April 10, 2019

Angie, Gunner, Jordy, Dice, Penny, Enzo, Aspyne … they all take their work as therapists very seriously and instinctively know what people need. It may be a moment of play, being quietly close, listening to a story or providing comfort as only this type of therapist can give.

Watch this touching story about the care these canines provide for those in need of their affection, attention and a tail wag and the pet therapy programs of which they are a part.
