Bart the Dapper Dutiful Donor |
Bart, the SWAG standard poodle, knew from a pup that he was destined to serve, and he found the perfect partner in Mary Lou. When they met, she was still recovering from a horrific car accident that killed Mary Lou's beloved black poodle Cori and left her with 20 broken bones.
While at Regions Hospital in St. Paul a fluffy, white, therapy dog named Sasha woke her one day. Sasha offered encouragement, love, and comfort. Mary Lou thanked Sasha with two promises -- to get better and to become part of a therapy dog team.
Mary Lou found an eager and well manner AKC poodle named SWAG's Liar Liar (aka Bart), and he quickly passed his AKC Canine Good Citizen test and earned his Dog Therapy International certificate.
Now, Bart and Mary Lou bring encouragement, love, and comfort to patients at Regions Hospital. As a playful poodle Bart occasionally finds every mud puddle in his yard, but before he can go to work he always gets a full spa treatment to get cleaned and groomed. He even surprises patients by showing up in baseball hats, reindeer antlers, and socks!
