Stanley House Assisted Living was visited recently by two Maltese therapy dogs. Looking more like stuffed toys with their dark button eyes and soft white fur, the little dogs were passed around, held, petted, stroked and generally admired by many of the residents. Owned by Miriam and John Melnick, who generously donate their time visiting assisted-living facilities across the country, little Sheyne and Shayla patiently sat on residents’ laps, licked their fingers and faces, and posed for photos. Here, residents (L-R) Juanita Casady and Marjorie Kehl hold “Sheyne” and “Shayla” while owner Miriam Melnick looks on.
