Therapy dog receives celebratory walk-off after serving over 8 years at Modesto hospital.MODESTO, Calif. — After comforting patients for more than eight years, a therapy dog received a celebratory walk as she begins her first days into her retirement.

Geri Azevedo volunteers at Doctors Medical Center as a therapy dog handler. She and her certified therapy dog, Tassy, make the rounds in hospital units to cheer up patients.

In the spirit of National Therapy Animal Day, the hospital hosted a celebratory event as 12-year-old Tassy passed “the bone” off to the new therapy dog, Bria.
