"Vinny" the therapy dog came to visit us at Mendota Manor today. The residents and staff enjoyed spending time with him and his owner. There's nothing like a friendly dog to help relieve you of the stresses in the day! In fact, studies show that human-pet interaction actually lowers heart rate and blood pressure. If you own a therapy dog and would be interested in bringing him/her to visit the residents at Heart to Home please call us at (651) 454-5250.
