Harley, the Dog of the Day
Name: Harley
Age: Two years old
Gender: Male Breed: Golden Retriever, Poodle
Home: Port Washington, New York, USA
 
   Harley is a very special dog and is certified as a therapy dog. He is a Goldendoodle dog - that's a Golden Retriever/Poodle mix. He goes each Sunday to Ronald MacDonald House and the local nursing home in our area. He has made many people happy and the best experience we have had is when a mother staying at Ronald MacDonald house of Long Island hugged me and said, "thank you for bringing Harley to visit with us this is the first time I have seen my daughter smile since my son went into the hospital 51 days ago".

    He is the best of both breeds - smart, and sociable. Even his height is an advantage - when he visits the nursing home since he is so tall no one needs to bend down to pet him and he puts his head in their lap so they can pet him easily. He is loving and just wants to be around people all the time.
