therapy dogThe primary job of a therapy dog (canines that can be found in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, etc.) is to "allow unfamiliar people to make physical contact with it and to enjoy that contact, and to bring comfort to those in need." From the youngest of children to the sickly and elderly, the pleasure a therapy dog can bring a patient is often undeniable.

At Stevens Hospital in Edmonds, Washington, the staff has hired a trained therapy dog, Shug, to visit patients. But unlike most therapy dogs, Shug, a golden retriever, has been outfitted with a camera on his head. And while that may seem odd at first, the video he captures of patients ecstatic to see him is undeniably heartwarming.

Sorry, Cat Ladies, but today belongs to Man's Best Friend.
