“Sophie, could not have been a better therapist, whether her new friend was young or old, she delivered that special something, either a welcome distraction for children or a comforting, nostalgic reminder for older adults who had grown up watching Lassie. Sweet Sophie was a friend for patients and staff alike. In fact, the staff looked forward to Sophie’s visits as much as the patients.”-Gail Diedrichsen
