Loki the Golden Therapy Dog

The hand on my head belongs to a lady who has been in ICU for almost 4 weeks. She misses her own dog dearly and I think I managed to cheer her up a bit 🥲 #therapydog #humanisingICU

@JenButlerSLT @VerenaSippelSLT Don’t worry, I’m trained to stay calm in stressful situations 😎😅

When @LokiPATdog tries to have a relaxing Easter break….. but our 45kg bundle of bouncing chaos keeps getting her her way 🤣 So sorry Loki… it’s because she loves you 🫶 #bernesemountaindog #dogs

Lots of smiles and patients saying “this has made my day” during my @PetsAsTherapyUK ward round today 🥰🦮 @newcastle_icu #animalassistedintervention #humanisingicu

@DrLisa_AHP Thank you 🥰🤗

@LokiPATdog Lovely picture!! 😍

Big news coming soon 🤩👀🦮🏥 What could it be?

@PaulaDimarco1 @MLSCourse @MeganWard39 @ICU_Harefield @NewcastleHosps 🤗😘

Pet therapy in ITU? Do you have it in your areas? What is the setup? It’s something we’d love to introduce to here in @ICU_Harefield. 🐶🐾 We often facilitate visits from family pets, but it would be nice to give non pet owners an opportunity to have a friendly visit!

Sometimes all you need is a hand (paw) to hold 🐾💛💙 #therapydog #animalassistedtherapy #humanisingICU

@poppy_hound @NewcastleHosps @NChaplaincy Aw happy retirement Poppy 🐾🤗 so well deserved. We will miss you and the time we had sausages in the staff bistro. Hope the hoomans will give you all the treats in the world xx

If Carlsberg made Sundays ❤️🌳🐾

The intensive care unit is a terrifying, very clinical environment for most. Last week a patient said seeing me made her “feel normal again”. Very grateful to work in a hospital where #humanisingICU is being taken seriously and #animalassistedtherapy is a big part of it 🫶🏻

Work and after work with one my faves 🥰 @robla1972 spoiling me with cuddles and the occasional crisp 🤫 #afterworkclub #workhardplayhard #therapydog #NHSfamily #sundayworking

@FudgeFantastic 🥰🥰🐾

@LokiPATdog Well done Loki 🐾

Such a pleasure to have a cuddle with this young gentleman on W18 ITU today. He told me he had been waiting all week to see me 🥰 keep fighting and I hope you will soon have your own golden retriever (which seems to be the plan as of today 🙃) #ICUrehab #therapydog #humanisingICU

I always love how much happier the staff seem when I come onto the unit 🤩 thanks for the cuddles and for looking after all the poorly hoomans on a Sunday 🤗 #physio #animalassistedtherapy #humanisingICU #lovemyjob #flourish

@YesSrICanBougie 🥰🥰 got to make sure everyone knows who I am 😉

@LokiPATdog His ID badge 😍😍😍

Happy #InternationalDogDay to my four legged friends 🥳 may the hoomans be good to you and give you extra treats today!

#InternationalDogsDay 🐶 🐶 Loki is not only Rachels therapy dog 🐶 but her best friend. He helped her recovery for a cardiac arrest. #ComplexMedicalNeeds #Lifelimiting #visualimpaired @GabyRoslin @guidedogs @NHSOrganDonor @5SOS @pumpinghearts @InvisiYouth @share_wishes ❤️❤️

@EmmaRogan3 Thank you ☺️🥰

What a beautiful soul she is 💜🐶

💛💙

I met a lovely radiographer when I was leaving Ward 18 on Sunday. She said seeing me has made her day 🥰 she was also very impressed that I have my own ID badge ☺️ #teamNUTH #therapydog #sundayworking
