Rudy’s contribution to the animal-assisted therapy industry will last forever. Rudy motivated us to establish our nonprofit organization, K9 Ambassadors, with his uncanny ability to consistently put a smile on people’s faces and bring them joyfully into the “here and now.”
Rudy served patients in hospitals, travelers at airports, college students studying for finals, employees taking work breaks, children learning to read, child witnesses during courtroom trials, and those he just met on the street.
If you have time, and kindness and compassion are part of your mantra, I encourage you to explore becoming a therapy dog handler. Hopefully, this website will help you start your journey. Feel free to email me at editors@hrms.net if you have any questions. -Richard
