Hudson, Florida (July 13, 2018) – Regional Medical Center Bayonet Point is proud to announce that it has an additional volunteer added to its ever-growing pet therapy dog program.
The newest addition to the pet therapy family is Little Boy Blue who goes by the name of Blue. His handlers are Rick and Donna Zuhl and they admit that they have their hands full with this little boy who comes riding into Bayonet Point every Thursday afternoon on a skateboard! Blue has been seen wearing a variety of different costumes made by his creative “mom.”
Certified therapy dogs require many hours of training and a medical clearance. Selection as therapy dogs is based on the common gentle demeanor of the animals even in the midst of chaos.
