It's so sweet and wonderful that a darling dog like this is right there with all the patients. Lovely, lovely, lovely; and I'm sure it helps them all to feel better. Very dear photo's. Thanks!

What a sweetie that little Faith is! My friend recently lost her dog. She had put him thru the training to be a therapy dog and he enjoyed it as much as the patients did! He was a sweet Golden Retriever. He was a regular at the assisted living facility nearby.

She looks like Daisy Mae, only darker in color. SO cute!


My dad was a scary driver until he was 89, when he had a pacemaker put in and he couldn't drive after that (his wife wouldn't let him). He had no peripheral vision and he would pull out into an intersection with people coming both directions because he couldn't see them. He almost refused to turn his head to see if someone was coming, as if it was a point of honor. I ALWAYS drove him after he turned about 75, and when he was out driving alone, I prayed a lot!

Awww, what a cutie - even with the short hair I recognized her as a yorkie immediately. I have a 1-year-old Yorkie and they're just such wonderful dogs. Never was a little dog person until I got her.

Faith, what a perfect name for a little pup who helps people who need to have a little faith to restore their spirits and bodies. I am a big proponent of animals helping to heal people. What wonderous mysterious things happen when someone is ill to have this furry little creature nestle up to you. It's magic.

Glad to read that your mom made it back home, and I hope that her recovery continues to go well. Love that little Faith, by the way, she looks so kind.

I used to do hospital pet visits through our local humane society. It never ceased to amaze me the joy these cats and dogs would bring to the patients.

Faith is a cutie!!

I am so glad to hear your Mom is home.

Faith certainly is a cutie-pie.

If I were in a nursing home or rehabilitation center, there is nothing that would make me happier than being able to cuddle up with a dog.
