PRAYERS NEEDED for CORA, the Therapy Dog!!!--- Hi, Facebook friends! I haven't updated everyone on CORA, the Therapy Dog lately, because things have just been plugging along, basically status quo. However, Cora could really use some extra prayer, positive vibes, good juju, or whatever you can spare this morning. This afternoon (Friday), Cora will be having surgery at MedVet Akron, to remove some lymph node tissue that has not responded well to her chemotherapy. Although the procedure is straightforward, the location of the lymph nodes makes the possibilities of complications MUCH higher, and therefore more risky. However, there really isn't much choice. Without it, her cancer will spread and the long-term prognosis sucks! So, Dr. Callard (who is amazing, by the way) will be operating on her early this afternoon. Everyone always asks about Cora and how she is doing, so I figured I would ask for any prayers or good thoughts you can spare today! I will keep everyone posted on the outcome!!! ~Chip

Hi, everyone! CORA, the Therapy Dog here! I just wanted to take a minute to wish my Veterinary Oncologist, Dr. Rochelle Prudic (left), from MedVet Cleveland a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY today! Without you, I wouldn't be here today. I hope you have a GRRRREAT day, and I will see you on Monday! Love, Cora!

CORA, the Therapy Dog says, "Party hard and have a Merry Christmas!!!" (Cora may have had just a little too much Egg Nog, but we promise she is doing just fine today!)

All about CORA, the Therapy Dog!

Cora is an American Pitbull Terrier. Also called a Pitbull, Pittie, Pibble, Bully, or numerous other nicknames! This not-so-vicious beast was rescued from the Friendship APL in Elyria, Ohio, at the age of 1 year old, in November 2016. Her now “forever owner”, Chip Ingersoll, is a professional dog trainer and behaviorist, and is the owner of Alpha-Dog Pet Center, located in Amherst, Ohio.

Cora became a certified Therapy Dog in 2017, and loves spending time at hospitals, nursing homes, schools and libraries. Cora absolutely ADORES kids, and really loves doing work in the “R.E.A.D.” (Reading Education Assistance Dog) program, as part of her Therapy Dog work.

While Cora absolutely LOVES her volunteer Therapy Dog work, where she truly THRIVES is at her full-time career, as the “Chief of Barketing” for Alpha-Dog Pet Center. She is the public face of the organization, and is a regular fixture on the company’s social media pages, as well as being easily recognizable at public events around Amherst and surrounding communities. She regularly attends Main Street Amherst meetings, as the representative of Alpha-Dog Pet Center to that organization. (Chip goes along, too, but introduces himself as Cora’s driver!) She absolutely loves her customers that come in to Alpha-Dog Pet Center, sometimes just to hang out and chat with Cora for a bit!

One of Cora’s biggest joys in life is the fact that she is blessed to be able to advocate for Pitbulls (and other “bully breeds”), in hopes to break stereotypes about her breed. Cora is currently single, but has many “crushes”--- both human and canine!
