Casey, the Dog of the Day
Name: Casey
Age: Six years old
Gender: Male Breed: Beagle
Home: Millerstown, Pennsylvania, USA
 
   Casey is special because he is a licensed Therapy Dog working at Hershey Medical Center ICU and Geisinger Medical Center Children's Hospital. He frequently is found in church, as well, doing programs with children, demonstrating the relationship of dog and his master working together to show a trusting relationship and comparing it to the relationship we have with God. Casey works with children having reading disabilities, giving them the confidence to want to learn to read, while they read aloud to him in a public library. He has twice been nominated for the AKC ACE Award, an award given each year to the top Therapy Dog, Service Dog, Search and Rescue Dog and Police dog. Casey trains and competes in Obedience, Rally Obedience, and Agility. If Casey can put a smile on your face and for just a few minutes make you forget your troubles, his job is done.
