“She’s a pure-bred golden retriever, born and raised in Rochester Mass., where her mother, Annie, was raised by Carol Allen of Golden Reigns Puppies,” Siteman says. “She’s a registered therapy dog, working with Caring Canines, an organization which arranges visits to senior residences, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, assisted living, memory care units, emergency responders and universities.”
