Spirit, a mixed-breed puppy, had a difficult life before he got rescued. He was abused before meeting his new owner Linda Koebner at a Louisiana pound. Koebner brought him home to New York and got him certified as a therapy dog. She started bringing him to the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx where he became one of the hospital’s most beloved fixtures.
Spirit is famous at the Montefiore Medical Center. He greets nervous patients and loves posing for snapshots. He even crawls into their hospital beds for some cuddles. Most of the patients Spirit visits have terminal illnesses or are in extreme pain and he provides love and comfort they wouldn’t otherwise get. What a good boy!
