Teacher and his 3-legged therapy dog make a difference
A high school science teacher and his three-legged therapy dog are making a difference by making weekly visits to Doylestown Hospital.

DOYLESTOWN, Pennsylvania -- A Pennsylvania science teacher and his three-legged therapy dog visit Doylestown Hospital every week to provide comfort and encouragement to the patients and staff.

Jerry Fetter, who teaches science at Council Rock High School, started volunteering with Boomer about a year and a half ago.

They are just one pair among dozens who have participated in the therapy dog program at Doylestown Hospital.
