Therapy Dog
Dexter
My name is Dexter, and I am a Dachshund. My role in therapy is to help clients feel welcome and relaxed. I am now 3 years old but because I am small people think I am still a puppy, but I do not mind. I am small enough to sit on your lap or share your sofa. I will also sit down beside you if you want to admire from a far.
When I am not sitting with clients having my silky soft ears stroked or my tummy rubbed, my favourite part of the job! I spend my days exploring new walks, chasing squirrels, although I would not know what to do with one if I was quick enough to catch up with one. However, I much prefer to curl up in a soft duvet or sunbathing.
