Leo

Leo is a Bearded Collie. At home and at the hospital he moves slowly, like “Eeyore”, swishing his hips from side to side. His gentleness puts the patients he visits immediately at ease. At the park, Leo transforms into “Tigger”, often bouncing six feet high in a display of pure happiness. While working he is reserved, but once his paws hit a grassy surface, he becomes a social butterfly. Leo retired from the dog show scene and found his niche in therapy work, bringing comfort to others.
