Hi! My name is Trooper and I am a lab/retriever mix. I have joined the Hospice Orillia team after completing two years of training through the COPE Service Dog program. I am excited to be working with both the Volunteer Visitors program and the Bereavement Services programs.

Many people ask my handlers what a Facilities Dog is. Here is a quick excerpt from the COPE Service Dog website:

COPE dogs can be partnered with a teacher, counselor, health care worker, social worker or health professional for the purpose of providing social interaction, therapeutic intervention and canine assisted education for many different people. The dog accompanies his/her partner at work in order to augment their regular educational, social or therapeutic practices.

Feel free to take a peek at some photo’s below; don’t mind my puppy photo’s, I blush every time i see them!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Your friend,

Trooper

Dear Tanya,

Thank you for taking such good care of me. I really loved being a part of your family and getting to know Granite and Carl. I will miss all the fun times we had together. Know that I think of you often and I will always have a special place in my heart for you all.

Love your furry friend,

Trooper ?

Grief is a normal reaction to the loss of a loved one. It can also be a reaction to the loss of relationships, physical ability, opportunities or future hopes and dreams.

Bereavement is the state of having suffered the loss of a loved one. It is the time after a loss during which grief is experienced and mourning occurs.

Mourning is the external expression of grief. It includes rituals that mark someone’s death, such as funerals, wakes or memorial services. Mourning is strongly influenced by a person’s spiritual and cultural beliefs and practices.
