Marmaduke by Brad Anderson for February 17, 2024

Not “disorderly” conduct.

The girls hand on him and the smile on her face proves it.

Animals are great therapy. A mini horse visited me the last time I was in the hospital. My last nursing home has a cat living in the courtyard. I watched her play on cooler days.

Amazing what a pet can do. When my sister, late brother-in-law, and I would visit our mother in the nursing home we would bring Rocky a rescue Golden Retriever his presence would light up the residents.

I remember when I was in the hospital, every Wednesday they would have a wonderful therapy dog come in…not as big as Marm, but just as friendly!

Awe! Marm! You make the most wonderful therapy dog! Love this one!

This is SO sweet of Marmaduke to be by a patient’s bedside. Which brings to mind how valuable it is to have therapy pets in facilities where there are patients who need them.

Marmaduke is a licensed FT dog. Fur Therapy. Works wonders.

Leave it to marm to make a hospital stay libeable

Big Dog Big Heart

Just what the dogtor ordered.

There is a hospital here in Ft. Worth that actually has dogs on staff to help as companions to patients.

Good dog

Obviously, a mutual admiration society.

Good boy.

Sending this to a friend who has a therapy dog being treated for cancer.
