Thor and his dad Gary visit nursing homes, hospitals, schools and behavioral hospitals. Behavioral hospitals are their favorite. The patients are usually in a bad emotional state
and Thor has a very calming effect on them. They lie on the floor with him and love to hug him (they aren’t allowed to hug people, but they can hug the dogs). And watching
their tears and smiles makes it all worthwhile for Gary who admits that he tears up as well knowing the happiness that Thor brings them. (The doctor confided that Thor does more good than the group sessions).
At home, Thor loves to swim several times a day, especially when the weather’s warm. He also loves to run. His zoomies are hilarious, according to Gary who warns that it’s best to get out of his way as his “brakes are terrible.”
Gary’s big goal is to get Thor into the VA. As a veteran himself, he’s always wanted to help those who keep the country safe.
