Loki the Golden Therapy Dog

Hi 🐾 I’m Loki 🐶 Golden Retriever girl, proud provider of Animal Assisted Interventions @NewcastleHosps. Lover of food & the beach. Registered PAT dog 💛💙

The hand on my head belongs to a lady who has been in ICU for almost 4 weeks. She misses her own dog dearly and I think I managed to cheer her up a bit 🥲 #therapydog #humanisingICU

@JenButlerSLT @VerenaSippelSLT Don’t worry, I’m trained to stay calm in stressful situations 😎😅

Lots of smiles and patients saying “this has made my day” during my @PetsAsTherapyUK ward round today 🥰🦮

@poppy_hound @NewcastleHosps @NChaplaincy Aw happy retirement Poppy 🐾🤗 so well deserved. We will miss you and the time we had sausages in the staff bistro. Hope the hoomans will give you all the treats in the world xx

The intensive care unit is a terrifying, very clinical environment for most.
Last week a patient said seeing me made her “feel normal again”. Very grateful to work in a hospital where #humanisingICU is being taken seriously and #animalassistedtherapy is a big part of it 🫶🏻

Work and after work with one my faves 🥰 @robla1972 spoiling me with cuddles and the occasional crisp 🤫

Such a pleasure to have a cuddle with this young gentleman on W18 ITU today. He told me he had been waiting all week to see me 🥰 keep fighting and I hope you will soon have your own golden retriever (which seems to be the plan as of today 🙃) #ICUrehab #therapydog #humanisingICU

[Loki the Golden Therapy Dog @LokiPATdog]

I always love how much happier the staff seem when I come onto the unit 🤩 thanks for the cuddles and for looking after all the poorly hoomans on a Sunday 🤗 #physio #animalassistedtherapy #humanisingICU #lovemyjob #flourish

I met a lovely radiographer when I was leaving Ward 18 on Sunday. She said seeing me has made her day 🥰 she was also very impressed that I have my own ID badge ☺️ #teamNUTH #therapydog #sundayworking
