These Spectrum Health police dogs make their rounds every day, coaxing smiles and bringing joy to patients, staff and visitors of all ages. Their job is to be lovable, but also to stand guard. The pet paparazzi follow them wherever they go.
Police dog Fix and the 'guy at the other end of the leash' bring comfort and smiles to patients, staff and visitors.
'He's helping put smiles on people's faces,' says the officer who calls himself 'just the guy at the end of the leash.'
'I've had people tell me their kid hasn't smiled for three weeks. The dog shows up and they're aglow.'
