What's up dog?
My girl gave the patients in Burwood Hospital something to look forward to each week, she evokes happy precious memories and emotions and soft silky warm fur to touch lowering blood pressure and stress levels. She brings light to the female inmates in the Christchurch Women's Prison each month again something to look forward to, some play, cuddles, warm fur , stories of their own beloved pets. The guards really enjoy seeing her too. Best antidepressant...DOGS! My girl accompanied many people through their journey on the spinal ward at Burwood Hospital. She lit up the room .
