Last month, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital welcomed two new colleagues to their staff — Huckleberry, a Golden Doodle, and Puggle, a Golden Retriever, are the newest members of the Child Life department at the St. Jude Paws at Play facility dog program. Read more on these special dogs below!<\/p>\n

Paws at Play<\/h2>\n

St. Jude Paws at Play<\/a> is a new program that the hospital is putting out to ensure patients and their families feel safe and at home in the hospital. The dogs will offer therapeutic support, playtime, and love to young patients who just need some unconditional support. St. Jude patients often have weakened immune systems, so the dogs provide social interaction, stress reduction, and sensory stimulation for the children.<\/p>\n
