Beth Johnson, a dog trainer at Ultimate Canine, introduces Gracie, a 5-month-old Australian Labradoodle. Gracie is a grief therapy dog whose role is to provide comfort to people experiencing grief due to a lost loved one. When Gracie visits a person, she can simply place her head on the person’s lap to help him relax.

Gracie was chosen to go into training when she was still 9 weeks old. Beth says that therapy dogs like Gracie also visit people in hospitals and nursing homes aside from funeral homes.
