A hospital in the United States of America ended up hiring a golden retriever so they could greet their stressed-out staff when they are working.

Yes, that happened and I want one!

A 3-year-old golden retriever was hired and is working in high-trauma areas of the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.

The dog works to support doctors and nurses that are stressed out while working in the high-trauma areas.

Mary Justice, the mother of Shiloh, got the idea when both of their young dogs were in training to become therapy animals.

During an interview with The Dodo, Justice said:

While we were in class, I started to talk to Beth about how I’ve done therapy dogs for [hospital] patients, and for people in nursing homes and taking them to see children in schools and while that’s really rewarding, I think there’s this whole population of workers right where we are that experience a lot of stress.

Shiloh works 3 days per week at the hospital with his mother.

The owner said that the dog was born to help others.

Justice added:

Shiloh has a strong ability to read people. He has an ability to look at the situation he’s going into and he searches out certain people. The person will tell me, ‘He knows I’ve had a bad day today.’ And he does.

The dog was brought to the hospital through the Buckeye Paws program, which was launched in March this year.

However, it was stopped during the first surge in the coronavirus cases.

The staff missed the dogs, especially when times were really rough, but after consulting with the dean of veterinary medicine, the dogs were brought back to the hospital.

This is such a good thing to do in times like these!
