Philomena is phenomenal when it comes to making friends.
How could you NOT fall in love with this curly-coated cutie? Philomena has more than her fair share of appreciative admirers when she and Mary pay regular visits to a library, a nursing home and the Northside Hospital.
Particularly pleasurable – and tied for first place in Philomena’s heart — are their visits to the patients in the nursing home and the medical residents in the hospital. Extremely sweet and exceptionally sociable, Philomena especially enjoys saying “hello” and greeting every person she meets, while everyone who meets her and Mary are wonderfully welcoming in return.
When she’s not sporting her signature vest and doing therapy visits, Philomena devotes her energy and capabilities to agility and scent work. Making Mary’s heart melt is the delight Philomena derives from both and how much she loves staying busy with such structured activities.
With Mary’s eyes on the team’s future, she plans to continue bringing smiles and solace to everyone Philomena meets.
