Congratulations to therapy dog, Izzy and her owner, Melissa, on winning ’s Pet of the Year and Underdog of the Year awards. Born with hip dysplasia, Izzy’s hobble is quickly overshadowed by her stunning light blue eyes and keen sensibility for the various engagement levels of our patients, making her a perfect match for a fun distraction or calming companionship.
