At ECU Health Medical Center and Maynard Children’s Hospital, three dogs are making a special difference in the lives of patients, families and team members. Whether in rehabilitation or the children's hospital, Clive, Erving and Sam come to work alongside their handlers ready to help patients through their journey.

“I’ve had people walk by and say, ‘You have the best job in the hospital,’” said Kasey Shue, recreational therapist and handler for Clive. “And now it’s even better – because there are three of them.”
