Children in the Palmerston North Hospital are treated to pet therapy, and last week it was Clyde and Edda's turn to turn on the canine charm.
Canine Friends, a voluntary organisation where owners and their pets visit the Children's Ward, was given the tick by MidCentral DHB and the dogs
have been regular weekly visitors for six months.
Chris Partridge of Canine Friends was at the Children's Ward with 11-year-old Clyde.
"The dogs have to be washed and groomed before the visit," said Chris.
Clyde's coat was freshly shampooed and his coat was fluffy and soft, ideal for petting by the sick children.
