Belle the therapy dog visits our residents

Thank you to Tonia Urwin and her beautiful spaniel Belle who regularly visits our residents. Belle is a professionally assessed @WAG therapy dog and is a massive favourite with us all at Charlotte Straker House. She is so well behaved and friendly and loves all the pats and strokes. She met lots of different residents and visited the less mobile in their rooms. Birgit said “her ears are so soft and fluffy.” And Nancy told us that “I used to breed dogs, and I do miss them. But Belle is very beautiful.” WAG is a visiting dog charity befriending older dog lovers in care or in hospitals across the North East of England – more details can be found at their website https://wagandcompany.co.uk/
