Just thought I would do a bit of bragging about my boy Bert. He was featured on the front page of our local paper.

(We are not allowed to take pictures of the patients when Bert visits at the hospital so these are very cool for us to have. If you click on the pictures it will enlarge so you can see better.)

Hey My Vickie!
You have one cool boy there. It's nice to see Bert in gentle action. We always see him playing with his pet buddies and talking about Allred- or publicly proclaiming is love for Charlotte.
Now I'm able to see his Therapy Dog side. Great work, Bert.

Dear Bert
Queen Penelope read us the newspaper story about you and showed us the pictures on the iPad. But, she signed off before I got to tell you what a hero I think you are. When I grow up, I want to be just like you and help people!

Your Vickie,
We read the article and can feel your pride in Bert. He does such great work. It's a pity our hospitals here don't allow therapy animals. I know it would lift my spirits if I were ever hospitalised.
So proud of you, Bert!
