Today was “Tucker Tuesday at LRH.” Tucker, a Samoyed breed dog, is a beloved therapy dog in Lakeland that is well known to the LRH team but has not been able to visit for a while.
Today Tucker returned to offer much-needed moral support and put a smile on the face of team members working tirelessly on the front lines of the COVID -19 pandemic.
We heard over and over again as he visited with team members, “Wow I really needed this,” “This was the best part of my day,” “Thank you for coming to visit us, Tucker!”
There is much evidence that shows animals provide great comfort during periods of high stress. Tucker was a gift to our healthcare teams today, just a brief visit made us all feel so much better!
