Therapy dog teams are usually found making rounds daily in the Heart of the Rockies Regional Medical Center (HRRMC). When the pandemic came, the therapy program had to be halted. But last June 15, staff and patients were visited by some of the volunteer program participants and their dogs.

The volunteers gathered at the center’s employee’s entrance with sign slogans saying, “We Howl for Healthcare Heroes,” “Woof You and Miss You,” “Pawsing to Thank You for All You Do,” “Bow Wow Equals Thank You,” “Hugs 4 Healthcare,” and a simple “Thank You.” The dogs received behind-the-ear scratches, praises, and a bag of treats in return for their kind gesture. It is not known yet when the dog therapy teams will return.
