RESIDENTS at a Bradford care home have recently welcomed visits from Harvey, a rescue dog, who has brought smiles aplenty to staff and residents alike.
Harvey was rescued by Megan Crabtree, Head of Care at Cottingley Hall Bupa Care Home, six months ago from Woodhaven Kennels in Leeds and he is now a regular visitor at the care home, bringing joy to its residents.
An 11-year-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Harvey enjoys treats, cuddles and snoozing during his visits to Cottingley Hall, where residents are able to spend quality time with him during Megan’s shifts.
Two residents, Brian Cryer and Bernard Denny have a particularly special bond with Harvey.
Bernard said: “I have always loved Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Harvey is an absolute softy and gorgeous, I happily spend my days cuddling him.”
Brian added: “Harvey is a fantastic dog; I love playing with him as he is so lovely. He is a wonderful addition.”
Megan Crabtree, Head of Care at Cottingley Hall, said: “I am over the moon that Harvey is bringing so many smiles to my colleagues and our residents, he equally loves all the attention and cuddles he gets from everyone. He has been with us and at the home for over six months now, and he truly is part of our Cottingley Hall family.”
