  A Portrait for Hospice of NW OHIO's Service Dog Tanner Reply Contact I just have to share, I lost my mom to breast cancer on March 9th.  I wanted to repay Hospice for their care and support.  I decided that I would do a portrait of their service dog Tanner.  I presented Tanner to Hospice yesterday.  They were thrilled and love the portrait.  I am so excited and want to share it with the world, to let people know how loving this organization is.  Thank you Hospice and all your staff! Thank you so much for looking and support your local Hospice Centers. Jan   *link removed* Jan Specializing in portraits of seniors, babies and PETS!

  Re: A Portrait for Hospice of NW OHIO's Service Dog Tanner Reply Contact  Searching for the term 'facility dog' will probably bring up some hits- that's technically these guys' name, as they're not actually a service dog but a live-in therapy dog. (Their access to no dogs allowed places is purely at the discretion of the place, not federal law, and they aren't trained to mitigate their handler (because there's not just one handler)'s disability(ies).
