Barney Is One Big Therapy Pup

Every morning, Barney wakes up around 8 a.m. to start a long day of helping others. He gets a giant bowl of food, makes a stop at Pet Smart for some luxurious grooming, and heads on over to Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
Barney is part of the Paws Can Heal assisted therapy program and uses his powers of pudge (he’s pretty darn chubby) to cheer up patients stuck indoors and dealing with painful recoveries. Many of Barney’s patients are so young they can barely form full sentences, but just seeing Barney makes them smile no matter how sick they are.
