Celebrating Gunner’s Achievement!
We couldn’t be more proud of our favorite employee, Gunner! He passed his Canine Good Citizen certification on Saturday, May 25, which is a significant milestone on his journey to becoming an official therapy dog. Gunner’s dedication and hard work, along with the support of our amazing practice administrator, Kaytlin Grimm, have truly paid off.
Therapy dogs like Gunner play a vital role in providing comfort and support to our patients, helping to create a more positive and healing environment. We look forward to seeing Gunner in action, bringing smiles and joy to everyone he meets.
Congratulations, Gunner! Keep up the great work!
