Snoopy from Kings Dominion joined Dogs on Call last week, visiting pediatric patients of the Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU.

Snoopy will regularly join three Dogs on Call teams for visits with pediatric patients. John Duval, CEO of MCV hospitals, and Sandra Barker, director of the School of Medicine’s Center for Human-Animal Interaction, were among those on hand to welcome Snoopy for his first visit. Dogs on Call is a VCU School of Medicine program that enhances the health and well-being of patients by providing human-animal interaction.
