Dogs are excellent icebreakers. Everyone either has a dog, has befriended a dog or just wants a moment of unconditional love in a time of need.

My mother was in a Hospice at the end of her life, and pets were allowed to visit there, with permission and arrangement. I always took Misty with me when I visited, and she used to really lift the spirits of many who were there in the last days of their lives. They loved seeing her, and she made many people smile.

I have known nursing homes to allow dogs to visit. One of my seniors had her dog on the bed with her when she died. I am sure it helped her to pass peacefully.
I am not surprized that Misty brought happiness to people at a hospice. It was her nature to give. I wish more dogs could be there for people in places like hospices. Your mother must have loved Misty's visits.
Once again dogs do more for us than we ever could repay.
