Bentley the Therapy Dog at Saint Luke's Hospice House

Bentley is one of many beloved dogs from Pets for Life who visit Saint Luke's Hospice House as part of the Dogs on Call (DOC) program. His owner, Bill, brings him every week to interact with patients, families, and staff who absolutely adore him. He loves attention and standing up to receive treats.

Pets are a valuable source of comfort and support in hospice care. Animals are shown to reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance social interaction. There is a reason dogs are called man's best friend.
