“There are few things better than a well-trained dog. I know and have witnessed first hand the terrific beneficial effects visiting dogs have on those with which they interact. As workplaces are stressful and challenging I wanted to bring the same benefits to those at work that I have to so many other locations. There is nothing else quite like it”.
