Wells

Therapy Dog

These days you might see our therapy pup hanging around the office. He is newly certified as a therapy dog and continuing to work on learning to support our clients. He apologizes as he is very eager to see everyone and say hi, and promises to continue to work on his over excitement. His handler is Brooke, and you are always welcome to ask them to show you a trick or two, if time allows.
