🐐💙 Petunia Spreads Smiles at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center 💙🐐

Today, Petunia had the privilege of visiting with some of the amazing patients and staff at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, where her human sister, Nina, works as a therapist.

Animal-assisted visits have a special way of bringing comfort, encouraging conversation, reducing stress, and creating moments of joy, and Petunia was more than happy to do her part! ❤️

We’re so grateful to the incredible therapy team for welcoming us and for everything they do each day to care for their patients. It was an honor to spend time with such compassionate professionals and the wonderful people they serve.

Thank you, Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, for having us. We can’t wait to visit again! 🐐✨
