Since her father’s stay, she and Duke McDreamy, a four-year-old Great Pyrenees, have become two of the most recognized and beloved faces in AdventHealth’s pet therapy program. Tiffany recently shared in an interview with WKMG News 6 that they often arrive 40 minutes before their volunteer shift to spend time with everyone who can’t help but stop and marvel at Duke’s fluffy coat and sweet smile.

Patients, visitors and team members alike have all benefited from a friendly visit with Tiffany and Duke. Through her volunteer training, Tiffany learned that dogs like Duke sense those in need of comfort and work to absorb their sorrow, fears and strife while leaving an indelible mark of friendship, comfort and love. It’s hard work for them both, but a never-ending supply of belly rubs keeps Duke motivated.
