Pawsitive Practice

The best part of Tali’s job is getting to meet so many patients and staff around the hospital and sometimes we get lucky enough to have the ambos stop by for a cuddle too!

Last week, Tali met the lovely Chelsea while she was on her way to pick up a patient and take them home. After our family’s very first ambulance trip this week, we’re feeling especially grateful for the incredible work ambos do for our community. Thank you for showing up for people on some of their hardest days 🐾🚑

🎉 One year in the Mental Health Inpatient Unit 🎉

This week marks one year of visiting the Mental Health Inpatient Unit at Mackay Base Hospital 🤍

The environment can be complex and ever-changing, yet Tali has adapted with remarkable confidence, gentleness and her signature charm. Working in this environment has deepened our trust as a clinical therapy dog team and it’s become one of her favourite places to be. Every Wednesday she barrels in with a wagging tail, ready to offer exactly what she does best.

In a setting where communication can be challenging, she offers grounding, connection and comfort. It’s been a privilege to see the positive impact she has on patients and to work alongside such committed staff 🤍🐾
