Golden girl

Angel, a Golden Retriever therapy dog with the nonprofit organization Faithful Paws and a frequent visitor to Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital, was honored during a ceremony at City Hall. Council Member David W. Robinson and Mayor Annise Parker proclaimed July 21 as “Angel the Therapy Dog Day” in Houston. During a recent visit to the hospital, Angel visited Dana Jerrols. Jerrols was receiving treatment for cancer and said Angel and her friends reminded him of his dog at home. He said the visit made him feel better already. Faithful Paws volunteers include Connie Richards, Dell and Denise Bryant, and founder Kathy Bilnoski.
