I didn’t know that a dog could actually become a doctor, but after meeting Boomerang, I’m convinced that this little guy really knows his stuff!
At just six years old, he’s already an experienced, certified Therapy Dog with a very busy schedule. Dr. Boomerang sees psychiatric and heart patients at Tufts, holds individual therapy sessions at nearby schools, and stops to see residents of an assisted living facility – where he’s a BIG favorite.
It’s not surprising that a Miniature Schnauzer has found such success in this vital and demanding profession. The breed is often described as intelligent, alert, and friendly – all qualities you’d expect in a good doctor. Throw in spirited, obedient, and fearless, and they’re also traits that make for a loving companion.
Whenever Boomerang is not making rounds, this energetic terrier loves to wind down by going for a walk. And, there’s nothing better after a long stroll than a treat, or two!
We love your technique, Boomerang! That has to be worth extra.
Thanks for the smiles, Boomerang, they’re just what the doctor ordered. You really are a great Therapy Dog!
