It's official: Sky is a Pet Therapy dog at Carilion Hospital. She rode elevators today, and walked hallways, greeting just a few people, to get used to the hospital environment. Like any new therapy dog her visiting will start out very slowly with the least amount of distrations. Excited to share this journey with Sky!
