Name: Fanci and Trudi
Age: Five years, Two and a half years old

Breed: Boxers

   These girls are real hams and will strike a pose anytime a camera is brought into their view! They are both Delta Pet Partners and take their therapy visitations quite seriously.

    On the other hand, they are "all-dog" - loving to go on their morning runs through the nearby forest, chase squirrels, armadillos, and chipmunks in their humongous fenced-in yard, and play with their hordes of toys. These two girls are their owners' late-in-life-babies! They both serve as Delta Pet Partners (therapy-visitation-animals) and are good at what they do! Fanci is our "kid-specialist," preferring to visit Pediatrics hospital units, children'd' shelters, and schools....while Trudi prefers the "oldsters" in nursing homes, Recuperative Care hospital units, and adult day care centers.

    They also enjoy being dogs - playing/wrestling with other dogs or between themselves, going for rides, playing tug o' war and fetch. They're just all-round neat girls!! They wear their "Helping Paws" neckerchiefs when "working." They also wear their Delta Society "Pet Partner" vests, which set them apart as therapy dogs. They own four different "sets" of costumes, as they wear costumes for all therapy visitations during the month of October.
