Erie Otters Donate Stuffed Animals to TDU
TDU's therapy dog volunteers are playing Santa this month thanks to a generous contribution from the Erie Otters Hockey Club.

TDU Dog of the Day
Shania Brings Barber Center Smiles
About one-third of TDU's volunteer handlers use their certified therapy dog at work, and for good reason. Many of our volunteers dedicate their lives to kids, senior citizens or the special needs community - and TDU volunteer Dave Buzard is just one shining example. Dave has carved out a 30 year career at the Barber National Institute where today he can be seen on the job with his English Springer Spaniel, Shania. Shi is not only a great motivator and a trusting friend to the center's many residents, but her gentle nature is an inspiration to everyone she meets. Shania was most recently a 2009 Canine Ambassador at our Mutts & Martini's Celebration. For a paw-graphed photo of Shania, or for more information on TDU's visits to clients with special needs, give us a growl at (814) 456-DOGS or Pawmail Scoops.
