What's up dog?
Working in a vet clinic is a very high emotional environment. When staff are having a bad day Mila the miniature schnauzer is there with her happy personality to cheer them up. Clients love seeing her at reception and introducing their pets to her. She'salso a calming presence for all our in patient dogs by just chilling out in the dog ward... some of them just enjoy having another presence in the room and the owners love that there's another dog there to keep their dog company.
