Today was a big day for our therapy pup, Benny, as he completed his very first official visit at Winning Wheels!

To say he exceeded expectations would be an understatement. Benny was completely at home, naturally connecting with residents and offering comfort in a way that only dogs can. His calm presence, gentle spirit, and loving nature were on full display as he brought smiles and support to so many.

It’s clear Benny is exactly where he’s meant to be using his God-given nature to help bring comfort and companionship to others. We couldn’t be more proud of this boy.

Today we celebrate the incredible impact of therapy animals on National Therapy Animal Day 🐾

From bringing comfort in difficult moments to spreading joy in everyday interactions, therapy animals have a unique way of making the world a little brighter. We are so proud to be part of this work by raising and training dogs who go out into the community and make a real difference.

To our amazing handlers, supporters, and every wagging tail that brings a smile to someone’s face, thank you for being part of something so meaningful.

Hudson visited the residents at Winning Wheels. He had the privilege of providing comfort to a resident in her final moments and she just so happens to love dogs. ❤️

It was amazing seeing how intuitive Hudson was with the family knowing they needed extra comfort in those moments.

Dogs are truly incredible 💕
