Remembering Magic.
Bill Alles lost Magic in February 2026.

Magic provided pet therapy for many years with MVPTA. The team first got started with Paws to Read in Beavercreek and other local events and facility visits.
Later, Magic and Bill took the Hospice of Dayton training and Magic became a Hospice of Dayton Pet Therapy Dog. Staff, patients and family loved Magic’s visits. Magic touched the lives of so many people and made a difference in our community. He was 13 years old and is deeply missed by Bill.

Our sincere condolences ❤️

Minnie Pearl is a pro and soaking up all the attention! And look at Nora… It was Nora’s first visit after graduation. She’s loving her new job!

Gracie had a great time visiting at Grandview ER today. The nurses and staff get as much out of pet therapy visits as the patients

Thanks to Gracie's handler, Cindi, for capturing Gracie at work. Gracie is a black lab who was adopted from Lab Rescue and is a natural at pet therapy.
