More visits from Tarka the therapy pooch

Tarka the Pets as Therapy pooch and her owner Carl are a regular and very welcome visitor at Charlotte Straker House. They visit each week and pop into our lounges, and individual resident rooms to make sure everyone has a chat for a pat and cuddle with the friendly dog. Tarka is a beautiful flat coated retriever and is so outgoing and approachable and we all look forward to seeing her. Carl tells us that she loves the water and in the recent warm weather likes nothing better than splashing in the river in Corbridge. John B says “I’ve always had dogs and cats at home, so I love seeing Tarka. She’s very sweet.” Eric adores Tarka and says “She’s very friendly and I love her wagging tail”. Thank you to Carl for bringing Tarka in, she is definitely becoming a very firm favourite!
