Teddy
Teddy is the grandchild of the previous Enable OT clinic dog, Enzo (well, we’re not sure entirely but he looks like it!). He inherited Enzo’s quiet demeanor and dark black fuzzy coat but has lots more energy! His favorite things to chew on are stuffed animals and brightly colored balls, and he enjoys being cuddled for hours on end!
Fun Fact: he doesn’t generally eat human food but loves to sniff it!
His special skill is decreasing a child’s nervousness around dogs, due to his gentle nature.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE CLINICAL DIRECTOR IF YOU OR YOUR CHILD IS ALLERGIC TO DOGS, AND HE WILL STAY AT HOME IN HIS WARM BED, INSTEAD, ON THE DAY OF YOUR CHILD’S SESSION.
