Hi ๐พ Iโm Loki ๐ถ Golden Retriever girl, proud provider of Animal Assisted Interventions @NewcastleHosps. Lover of food & the beach. Registered PAT dog ๐๐
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 ๐ฅฒ #therapydog#humanisingICU
@poppy_hound @NewcastleHosps@NChaplaincy Aw happy retirement Poppy ๐พ๐ค 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 โfeel normal againโ. Very grateful to work in a hospital where #humanisingICU is being taken seriously and #animalassistedtherapy is a big part of it ๐ซถ๐ป
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 ๐ฅฐ keep fighting and I hope you will soon have your own golden retriever (which seems to be the plan as of today ๐) #ICUrehab#therapydog#humanisingICU
๐๐พ It's National Dog Day today! Don't forget to celebrate it with your best pooch!!!

I met a lovely radiographer when I was leaving Ward 18 on Sunday. She said seeing me has made her day ๐ฅฐ she was also very impressed that I have my own ID badge โบ๏ธ #teamNUTH#therapydog#sundayworking
