It was a very productive and fun few days in Willmar, MN assessing potential therapy dogs and their handlers for CentraCare Hospice. Pictured is an old friend, Shari, and her dog London, who was one of the chosen few to move on to the training phase in May!

Wesley Patrick brought joy and comfort to many patients in a hospital setting last weekend. Visits are exhausting so it’s important to be aware of the challenges he encounters and the toll it takes. Solid rest post-visit is essential!

Wesley Patrick is spreading SO many smiles and TONS of joy on today’s visit to assisted & independent living and memory care. He sat with lots of folks and met two new people today who couldn’t stop adoring him.
