Haley, Heritage Hall East


She specializes in providing comfort and affection to any resident or short term rehab patient in need. She has the remarkable ability to gently kiss and nuzzle a patient's weak limb when they have suffered from a stroke. She keenly positions herself where residents can reach her back for a gentle pat or places her head on the laps of those in wheelchairs who can't move for themselves. She even seems to be aware that sometimes people just need a canine to warm up their feet and happily complies. She works a few days a week at the nursing home and also finds it her responsibility to brighten up her favorite medical director's office practice and the patients there as well.

When she is not on duty she enjoys hiking, lounging in her owners garden and attempting to beat Michael Phelps' time in the 100 meter swim.
