Please help us in congratulating a very good boy on a successful first day at his new job.
This week, the Canines For Kids program at Children s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) welcomed a golden retriever named Aries to its facility dog team. The handsome, three-year-old pup will spend his days supporting patients at the hospital s Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center. Aries job is to make kids feel more at home while undergoing treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation, and bone marrow transplants.
This specially trained pup will support young patients during some of the most challenging times in their lives. With tail wags, slobbery kisses, or simply his presence, Aries will provide comfort and stress reduction and help ease pain and nausea. It s a big job, but he s up for the task.
