Hailey Finch is a toddler who was learning to walk again after epilepsy surgery left her unable to move. Before meeting Ansley, she’d regularly have fits that would set her progress back. But with Ansley, she zips around in her walker all over the hospital hallways.

“After surgery, she couldn’t do anything but just lay there, and in four to six weeks, she’s already walking with a walker with the help of Ansley the dog. It’s been great,” said Hailey’s father Aaron Fitch.

Thanks to Ansley’s help, Hailey was released from the hospital in a too-cute ceremony that involved the dog (and some carrots and apple treats).
