Gentle Care Animal Hospital Veterinarian Dr. Christopher Rispoli said as he described his favorite dog.
A 288-pound Mastiff, Betty was a therapy dog that comforted children in the hospital and victims of the Moore and El Reno tornadoes.
“Everybody around this area at that time knew Betty. We had people who didn’t even have animals that would come in to see the big dog that was so sweet, Rispoli said.
Betty passed away in 2015, but her gentle spirit lives on in the Betty Fund, which provides no cost vet services for people who can’t afford it at the Edmond animal hospital.
