Meet this Las Vegas ambulance company's therapy dog
https://www.reviewjournal.com/life/health/meet-this-las-vegas-ambulance-companys-therapy-dog-photos/
There’s a new therapist in town, and she’s a little, well, furry.
Mercy, a 4-month-old goldendoodle, became the newest American Medical Response and MedicWest employee in July. She’ll serve as the ambulance companies’ therapy dog once she’s fully trained. The inspiration for adding Mercy to the team came from the aftermath of the Oct. 1 shooting on the Strip.
“After October 1, my team and I witnessed firsthand how incredibly beneficial the therapy dogs … were for our 383 first responders from AMR and MedicWest who responded that night,” regional director Scott White said in a recent news release.
Mercy’s mom and dad, Saydee and Bodhi, visited AMR in Las Vegas after the shooting, which killed 58 and wounded hundreds more during a country music concert outside Mandalay Bay.
