Eddie the Dog Brings Comfort

Eddie and his owner Janice are frequent volunteers at the Kansas City Hospice House™ where Eddie feels right at home. Patients and families alike take comfort from this little dog with a big, big heart. Janice is often found playing the piano and Eddie waits patiently for his turn to go to work. Here’s a story from a local news station that shows just what an impact a four-legged visitor can make. Video from Channel 41 no longer available. Thanks to Janice and Eddie for everything you do to make special moments!
