My dachshund mix, Coney Hot Dog, goes to a hospital twice a month. And he visits a senior assisted living once a month. This month, he will be going as "Dr Coney", giving his version of medicine to all. But mostly he brings smiles and giggles as he walks by, stopping to visit.
I have been doing this for 30 years, Coney is dog #6 for me. We both love lowering blood pressure, heart rate, and creating good feelings. Wave and say "hi" if you see him!
