Finley enjoying his faux bone
Finley came to Southlake Hospital for a visit last week. Since Finley is a very good boy - even though he's only 11 months old - he's allowed inside his friend's room, which just happens to by husband's room too. Finley was on his best behavior. Patiently he listened to "people chatter", chewed on his bone, let strangers pet him, rested his eyes....
Part Australian cattle dog, Finley looks a bit like Digger (seen here), a therapy dog who often visits the hospital on weekends.

Would you believe Finley and his siblings were found in a ditch in Alabama when they were just babies? Luckily for Finley, a lovely young Canadian woman fell in love with him, adopted him, had him checked out by a vet, and brought him to Canada. Clearly he is loved...and he knows it.

Great story! What a journey!
Oh Findley is truly a hero and so is the lovely woman who brought him to Canada to bring all those smiles to people that need them.. Hug B
Nice story and a very handsome dog...good for the rescuer.
I missed the previous posts about your husband being in hospital. I hope he is improving and will be home soon.
Seems like Finley was a welcome diversion and a very sweet pup.
Finley looks rather large... and might have some more growing to do as he's only 11 months old. I bet he loves his dinner!
He is a beautiful boy!
Such a sweet well-behaved doggie Finley is♡♡♡
I wish to know if there are therapy dogs in our city, as I haven't seen one while my late father was in the old people's home(^^;)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
What a lovely story, but only 11 months old? He's going to be gargantuan!
What a lovely fellow, and how wonderful that he is allowed in the hospital. That would never happen here!
What a lovely pup.
Only months old ?!! What a big boy ! I'm glad he found a canadian woman with a great heart to save him !
Sounds the perfect win-win story. He is quite the handsome guy.

What a lovely dog!
A heartwarming story. Finley's going to bring a lot of happiness to a lot of people over the years. So well behaved for such a young age :D)
For under a year old, he is certainly well-behaved.
what a great story and a beautiful dog!! love the colors in his beautiful, shiny coat!!!
Therapy dogs are worth their weight in gold! We almost decided to train our golden to work as such a dog, but she was a bit too old at the time.
Finley is a sweetheart.
I'm so glad to see that the bad start had a good ending. Shame on the person that dumped those pups. He's a beautiful dog and will reward his people's kindness for years to come.
What a lovely story and Finlay is so handsome. Have a marvelous weekend.
Hello Finley, nice to meet you! Are you sure you weren't having fun with a silver strap also? :-)
Finley is a lucky dog to find a loving forever home, especially in Canada.
Finley looks like a patient kind companion. He's good looking too.
Just the perfect kind of visitor to have!
