Buster (my companion) recently passed away. He and I were Associate Members of Therapy Dog International. We got to visit nursing homes, hospitals, universities, and other institutions and wherever else therapy dogs were needed. | I am also an active blood donor with the American Red Cross. They have frequent blood drives on Temple campus. |
