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.

ReplyDeleteSeems 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!
ReplyDeleteHe is a beautiful boy!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet well-behaved doggie Finley is♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteI 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*

ReplyDeleteTherapy 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.
ReplyDeleteFinley 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.
