Canine Co-pilots

Dayton Children's has thousands of employees who come to work every day to make a difference in the lives of patients and their families. There are three employees that are unlike the rest... they have fur and four paws! Millie, Peppermint, and Addie are full-time facility dogs who work alongside our Child Life team to provide individualized interventions that best meet a child's needs. They’ve been known to walk beside patients following a life-altering surgery or traumatic event, snuggle up with patients as they endure potentially painful procedures, serve as a source of comfort and normalcy in an environment that is far from normal, and so much more. Their work touches the lives of children, families, and staff every day, and your donations not only keep this program alive, but also growing. Thank you for considering donating to promote the continued success of our canine co-pilots!
