Vanderbilt Hospital Welcomes Facility Dog Squid
With limited visitors to the hospital due to social distancing and health safety measures, Canine Companions® Facility Dog Squid arrived on the job just in time to engage with patients and staff. Squid performs commands designed to motivate and inspire patients to obtain treatment goals. In addition to helping patients in their treatment, Squid provides comfort and affection to support families and hospital staff experiencing the impact of intense medical situations.
