Earlier this month, Brian Machowski and Wally, a therapy dog, made their way slowly through the lobby of the Gino J. Merli Veterans Center in Scranton. Several staff stopped for a snuggle and a smile before the pair made it to a patient floor.
A resident looked up in anticipation before Machowski said, “Would you like to meet Wally, sir?”
“He’s a good boy to be with,” said Patrick DeNapoli, an Army veteran of the 1960s who taught at Keystone College and Luzerne County Community College. DeNapoli had dogs in his younger years.
“He’s a special one, you can tell,” he said.
