National Therapy Animal Day

Did you know April 30 is National Therapy Animal Day?  

Connecticut Hospice community is fortunate to have many Pet Therapy Volunteers who bring their certified pet therapy dogs to visit our patients and families.  While we can’t celebrate their special day in person because of the coronavirus, we want to honor them by sharing some of their pictures with you. Please enjoy these beautiful beings and join us in thanking them all!
