A child reads to a therapy dog during a visit.Jill was an excellent therapy dog. I only had her for 5 years. Cancer finally got the best of her on February 6, 2023. She had already survived it 5 times.

She loved going to the libraries for the children to read to her. But her favorite therapy work was at our local airport. She loved seeing all the people,  especially the flight crews. She had her favorite pilots and flight attendant. I don’t think there was a person she didn’t like or who didn’t love her.

She is so very missed.
