Molly and Scooter
If you had to be in a hospital for a few weeks, what would cheer you up? How about a visit from a cute, cuddly, happy dog? Well, that's exactly what Molly and Scooter do several times a month for children who are in hospitals. Molly and Scooter are called Therapy Dogs, and kids love to be visited by them. "I was in the hospital for a month, and I really missed my dog at home. When these dogs came in, they jumped right into my bed and just licked me, and that made me feel a lot better."

Therapy Dogs come in all shapes and sizes. They just need to be well-behaved and friendly. "They have a sixth sense. If you're sick, they want to lay down next to you and give you love." Therapy Dogs like Molly and Scooter are treatment in a huggable form.

In this funny short movie, see Scooter giving one of his special treatments -- licking the face!
