Four-Year-Old Dachshund Becomes Therapy Dog for Residents

Sunrise Senior Living Center has a four-legged resident who makes everyone else happy. His name is Charlie, and he's a 4-year old dachshund who was adopted by activity director Erin Anderson from the Siouxland Humane Society. 

Anderson mentioned that they had someone come in weekly but she moved away, so Charlie's presence was perfect. What's interesting is that as a therapy dog, Charlie didn't need a lot of training because residents are simply contented by his presence. 

Patty Sales, a Sunrise residents, says, “I love him. I had animals of my own and as soon as I saw him, it made me feel more like home because it’s been a long time since I had any animals.”
