Pet of the Month!

Spencer Zettek has proven to all of his patients and friends that he is a true Doggie Hero! Spencer is a certified therapy dog with the Canine Therapy Corps which conducts formal therapy programs for children and adults with various needs. Dogs work with patients with both physical disabilities like brain injury and emotional needs such as abuse or addiction. Spencer has always been a favorite and also works with a speech pathologist to elicit effort from special needs children during their therapy sessions. Spencer has recently undergone cancer treatment himself and proven to all pets, pet lovers and cancer surviors that Heroes come in all packages!
Thank you Spencer and The Zettek Family!
