They’re known as man’s best friend and that is what Stanley the therapy dog is for all the residents at Carinity Cedarbrook Aged Care community.

Carinity Cedarbrook’s Diversional Therapist, Julianne, explains 4 year old Stanley was her fathers dog and after her father passed away she took care of Stanley taking him into work with her.

“I thought he’d make a great therapy dog cause he’s little and he’s just so attached to all the residents,” she said.
