SOME SHADE AND AIR CONDITIONING BREAKS IN THE MIX AS WELL. THANK YOU, ERIC. WELL, THIS MORNING WE HAVE A STORY ABOUT A SWEET DOG IN HIS OWNER AND THEY MAKE A GOOD PAIR AND BRING SO MUCH JOY TO PEOPLE WHO ARE DEALING WITH HEALTH ISSUES. YEAH. SO MEET TWO SOCKS. AND DAVE, IN THIS MORNING’S GOOD NEWS FILE STORY. OH, THE POWER OF A BELLY RUB. THAT’S TWO SOCKS RIGHT THERE. HE’S A 12 YEAR OLD POM MIX. HE’S PRETTY SMALL. COME ON. HE’LL GO, BOY. BUT HE’S MAKING A BIG DIFFERENCE AT PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL. HE IS ABSOLUTELY SO CHILL AND RELAXED. HE LOVES TO GET ON PATIENTS BEDS AND HE JUST WALKS GENTLY UP CLOSE TO THEM AND JUST FLOPS OVER FOR BELLY RUBS. DAVE HOWARD AND TWO SOCKS SPEND HOURS VISITING PATIENTS AND STAFF, TWO SOCKS, EVEN HAS HIS OWN CREDENTIALS AROUND HERE. HE’S A PRETTY BIG DEAL. COME ON. GOOD BOY. THEY’RE A DREAM TEAM. LIVE IN THE DREAM. I ALWAYS WANTED TO BE ABLE TO DO VOLUNTEER WORK WITH MY BEST FRIEND. AND HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE ABLE TO DO VOLUNTEER WORK ON A CONSISTENT BASIS WITH THEIR VERY BEST FRIEND? AND A LOT OF TIMES THESE PATIENTS COME TO THE HOSPITAL AND THEY’RE ACTUALLY EXPERIENCING SOME OF THE WORST DAYS OF THEIR LIFE. KAITLIN BAKER IS A NURSE MANAGER. SHE’S SEEN HOW VISITS FROM DAVE IN TUCSON MAKE PATIENTS FEEL A LOT OF THEM JUST HAVE COMPLETE CHANGE IN JUST THEIR DEMEANOR AND WHAT THEY’VE DONE FOR STAFF. KAYLA CAN’T EVEN BEGIN TO THANK THEM ENOUGH JUST FOR ONE MOMENT TO STEP ASIDE FROM THEIR DAILY WORKFLOW TO JUST SAY HI TO THE DOGS AND TAKE THAT TIME TO JUST RELAX AND BE IN THE MOMENT HAS BEEN VERY BENEFICIAL FOR HER STAFF. TWO SOCKS MAY BE THE STAR OF THIS PRESS BATTERY AND STAGE, BUT IT’S THE GENTLE AND KIND MAN WALKING HIM. HE’LL COME ON, LET’S GO. GOOD BOY. WHO ALSO DESERVES SOME NOTORIETY FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR OUR STAFF TOO, HAS REALLY MADE IT INCREDIBLY SPECIAL. THOUGH DAVE SAYS HE DOESN’T NEED IT. THE REWARD BOY IS IN THE WORK. I LOVE GIVING BACK. AND THAT’S THE POWER OF LOVE, OF SIMPLE KIND GESTURES. ONE SCRATCH, ONE BELLY RUB CAN CHANGE A DOG’S DAY AND A HUMAN’S JUST LIKE THAT. WELL, PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL IS LOOKING FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS RIGHT NOW WE’RE A FAMILY. AND SO I THINK IF SOMEONE’S LOOKING FOR ONE OF THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TO TO SERVE IN THAT WAY, THEY’RE GOING TO FIND IT HERE. SO THEY REALLY NEED VOLUNTEERS AT THE INFORMATION DESK AND HOSPICE, E.R. RADIOLOGY AND IN THE GIFT SHOP, THEY TYPICALLY ASK FOR A FOUR OUR COMMITMENT. SO YOU CAN BE A VOLUNTEER LIKE DAVE AND TUCSON. JUST LOG ON TO US DOT ORG SLASH
