Great for dementia patients and children. His name is Charlie he is a golden retriever pup. My dad that had dementia after several strokes named him and always remembered his name. It was amazing to see how this little dog calmed my dad. He was great company for dad, dad lost his eyesight and felt very alone and afraid but Charlie did his job with a quiet bark and his tail wagging and his head moving. Charlie is activated by sound or you can mute him. Dad would also whistle for Charlie and the staff would be hopping to get Charlie to him. It holds fond memories of my dad for me. I hope Charlie can help someone else.
