Professional Interests:
Dave works hard doling out love and support to all of our patients. He enjoys cuddling up and soaking up their pain.
Personal Interests:
Dave loves playing fetch, tug of war with my favorite rope, rolling in the dirt and snow, belly and butt scratches, swimming, and chasing squirrels.
Patient advice:
Animals like me help you during the healing process. You can talk to me and tell me your problems, I can make you smile and provide relief that you may need. Sometimes I even groan along with you. I can help you learn and practice social-emotional skills, and help break any tension that you may have when you come to see me for an appointment. If you want some cuddles, I might even sneak a kiss, or I can lay on my comfy bed and take a nap if you would rather. Oh, and don’t worry, my mom keeps a lint roller handy!
