Daisy is the definition of pure doggy LOVE!
Daisy and Lynn may be a new therapy team, but Daisy excels at making people smile. They visit an assisted living facility, where the residents love to pet her, and when Daisy enters the room, they not only return her smile, their reaction to her is one of pure love.
Lynn’s favorite therapy visit was to a VPK program, where Daisy met kids under five who couldn’t wait to pet, hug and kiss her. It felt wonderful watching Daisy make so many kids happy. At the end of the visit, when they petted her at once, all Lynn saw was her beautiful face and expressive eyes, taking in all of the love. She looked like a rock star!
During one of the team’s visits, Daisy met a child with special needs. At first he was afraid to pet her, but after awhile, he started petting her and began to smile. Then he started talking about her and Lynn herself smiled simply watching them interact.
Since Daisy enjoys travelling, she accompanies her mom as often as possible. People always want to pet her, and she brings them so much joy. When she’s not walking every morning with her neighborhood dog friends, she’s swimming in the family pool. But Lynn thinks Daisy’s favorite activity is begging for French fries!
Daisy melts Lynn’s heart every time she follows her around the house – to her office or the kitchen. Sometimes Lynn has to type with only one hand because Daisy gently nudges her other hand to pet her while she stands underneath her desk.
In the future, Lynn hopes that she and Daisy can qualify to volunteer at a hospital.
