Special Episode: Untold Stories of Our Facility Dogs

Hope and Will: A Parenting Podcast from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

As we close our first season and head into a brief summer hiatus, we leave you with an unforgettable conversation: never-before-told stories about our furry fleet of facility dogs. As you may or may not know, a team of innovators right here at Children’s pioneered the first facility dog program ever at a stand-alone pediatric hospital.

In this episode, you’ll learn what it takes to become a facility dog, as well as the impact dogs can make on sick and injured kids—from helping to reduce the need for sedation to providing comfort after trauma.

Buckle up. You’re about to laugh, cry—and hear stories sure to stay with you for a lifetime. Whether you’re a dog lover or someone thirsty for stories that soothe the soul, this is one you don’t want to miss.
