They say charity begins at home and it certainly did for us! We trained our dog to be a Therapy Dog so that he could visit hospitals and nursing homes. CoCo is our personal pet, but he helps others by visiting five facilities and over 200 clients each week. CoCo visits two rehabilitation centers, one nursing home, one Alzheimer's Day Care Center and a hospital. He loves visiting with patients and residents and bringing smiles to their faces. CoCo helps by lifting spirits, giving kisses, even encouraging rehab patients to put forth that extra effort! He also consoles the family members of those in the hospital and gives the staff a little lift each visit too! It's amazing to see what this 11.5 pound Shih Poo can do for others.
