Molly the Therapy Dog
Molly is a five-year-old Sheltie who works as a certified therapy dog. She volunteers two or three times a week at different hospitals in her community, spreading joy to patients and their families who need some time out from the stresses of being in hospital. Studies show that petting a dog can reduce stress, and release calming endorphins, which is why Molly is so popular when she goes out to visit people. Molly went through four months of training and testing to become certified with the Alliance of Therapy Dogs in the US. You can follow her adventures on her Facebook page or Instagram.
