Meet Doris. She’s a beautiful lurcher dog that’s a mix of Greyhound and Deerhound. For those in the US who may not be familiar with lurcher, it is an offspring of a sighthound and another breed. Doris happens to be a combination of two sighthound breeds. She’s beautiful and brings a smile to people who really need it.
Check out these fun facts about her as told by her human mom, Elaine.

What else would you like to share about your dog?
Doris is a therapy dog at our local clinic. She provides a meet and greet service for X-ray, cardiac and the blood clinic which is hugely popular. When she makes a worried patient smile it’s a special moment. Oh, and of course, there is always cheese at the café.
Look at her sweet face! It’s easy to see how she brings a smile to the people at the clinic.
She’s stretching out on the couch after making all those people smile:
