meet George

George with the fabulous eyebrows and handsome personality arrived in our lives six years ago as a 16 weeks old, 17 lb Bernedoodle puppy, quickly growing into 100 lbs of his gentle, goofy, wise, and loving self.

He became a certified Therapy Dog at age two and serves the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, frequently attending events, welcoming visitors, offering comfort during stressful weeks, spreading oodles of joy in res halls, classes, and student club meetings, and creating the kind of spontaneous, joyful encounters that make even the cat-loving-humans smile. 

He has also become a daily reminder that connection does not always require eloquence. Sometimes it looks like patience, presence, a soft place to land, and the willingness to greet every person as though they matter. Because they do.
