Love Heals

Coloradoans love their dogs.  So it shouldn't have been as big a surprise as it was when I showed up at Rocky Mountain Cancer Center for my yearly checkup, and there was...a dog.  Apparently the clinic has a program where dogs are brought in for treatment to relieve patients and give them some happiness during a rather dark time.

It was amazing!  Most of the adults there receiving treatment knew the dog well and called him by nicknames (different versions of his own: Job), and I'm not gonna lie, the pumpkin t-shirt made my day.  It made me almost forget the reason I was there; which, I think, makes that program a complete success.
