On Therapy Thursday, we highlight other Therapy Animals and the services they provide.
Boomer is one of several certified therapy dogs that make rounds at All Children's Hospital Johns Hopkins Medicine to provide their own kind of special care.
In a hospital setting, the appearance of a dog can a provide a positive focus for patients, their families and staff alike. Boomer is just one of many volunteer dogs that serve at the hospital.
Therapy dogs, like Boomer, bring a smile to the patients and their families, and make their hospital stay more cheerful. Certified Pet Therapy Dogs, along with their owners, visit patients’ bedside. When a child sees a cuddly dog in during their hospital stay, their eyes light up and their anxiety floats away.
