This is Buddy investing time with a Hospice Patient at her daughter’s home. Buddy is laying on a pillow on her lap. It is as if Buddy can “read the room.” At the airport he is so animated but in a Hospice situation he moves in slow motion.

Here is Buddy working at DFW Airport! As soon as Jeannie Helm, his handler, gets their Therapy Dog Backpack out, he starts jumping around and howling. When they get to the airport, his tail never stops! Buddy is 5.5 years old and has been doing Therapy Work for four years.
