WATCH: JOY Dogs bring delight to seniors

Sue’s JOY Dogs brought joy and excitement to the DEOPR Caring Facility residents.

Sue Green and her JOY Dogs visited the DEOPR (Directorate Enforcing Older Persons Rights) Caring Facility, taking with her three lovable sheep dogs – Jade, Orion and Yola.

The canine trio, trained to interact with seniors, quickly won the residents’ hearts.

The dogs, with fluffy coats and wagging tails, performed many tricks, including jumping through a hoop and navigating a tunnel, delighting the residents with their agility and obedience, and many couldn’t resist giving them a pat or treat.
