Yesterday, I had the opportunity to work with a wonderful group of volunteers that visit the sick and elderly with their pets.
We visited patients at Martin Memorial Hospital.
They call themselves “Sunshine on a Leash”, because everytime they make a visit, it’s like a ray of sunshine comes shining down…
..and that’s exactly what I saw happen.
They visit hospitals, cancer centers, adult day care centers, at various locations throughout Palm Beach and Martin Counties.
It was very moving to see the interactions and the joy the dogs brought with them.
