Henry, the Dog of the Day
Name: Henry
Age: Three years old
Gender: Male Breed: Papillion
Home: Covina, California, USA
 
   Henry is loveable and sweet but still has a larger than life personality. He is a pet therapy dog who visits residents at nursing home facilities but still has a wild side and often steals people's lunches. We got Henry from a pet store that he had been at a very long time (so was at triple discount). We had no intention of making him a pet therapy dog but in our line of work (healthcare recruiting) it seemed like a natural fit. He went through training and is sweet and gentle at nursing home visits. I also bring him to work with me where he loves to get snacks from everyone in the office and then sleep from about 3pm on.

    At home he is a little more feisty and enjoys playing with his two older sisters (a boxer and poodle mix). He knows sit, lay, roll over, shake and kiss. We especially love kiss because he often has to jump very high to give a standing adult a kiss. He is very affectionate and loves to cuddle but also likes his own quiet time and can be found in an empty bedroom taking a quiet nap.
