National Puppy Day 🐶 falls right in the heart of Child Life Month, making it the perfect time to highlight the monthly pet therapy program at our hospital.

The Shriners Children's Boston pet therapy program is coordinated by child life specialist, Brooke. “Pet therapy is an important modality for our patients to create normalization while they are in the hospital," explained Brooke.
