Facility dogs at UW Health American Family Children’s Hospital in Shorewood Hills were on hand at CHAMPs Cupid’s Corner in the hospital’s lobby.
Patients could come to the booth for a hug and photo with a dog. Patients could also take grab-and-go activities back to their rooms such as Valentine’s Day coloring books.
After all, there’s nothing like puppy love to cheer someone up.
