The Bandana Goes On

Biscuit's handler, Marcus, clips her teal bandana at the kitchen table. She knows. She always knows. Her tail doesn't stop for the next 11 hours.

The Breakthrough

โ€œBiscuit has worn this bandana to 847 visits.โ€

Pediatric Oncology, Room 214

Sofรญa, 8, hasn't left her bed in six days. When Biscuit's nails click down the corridor, Sofรญa sits up before the door opens. She hasn't smiled since her last treatment.

The Breakthrough

โ€œSofรญa asked to read Biscuit a story. It was the first time she'd spoken that week.โ€

Veteran's Rehab โ€” Building B

Ray, 74, hasn't attempted the hallway walk since his surgery. His physical therapist has tried three times. When Biscuit sits at the door, Ray reaches for his walker.

The Breakthrough

โ€œRay walked 40 feet โ€” his longest since the operation.โ€

Lincoln Elementary โ€” Reading Circle

Seven second-graders sit cross-legged on a rug. Darius, who hasn't read aloud since September, picks up 'Where the Wild Things Are.' Biscuit leans against his leg.

The Breakthrough

โ€œDarius read the whole book. The class asked for an encore.โ€

โ€œOur school counselor calls Biscuit 'the calm-down room with fur.' She's more effective than any sensory tool we've purchased. Our principal has asked to expand visits to every grade.โ€
