A four-legged friend is the latest addition to a specialist healthcare team.
Frankie, a trained therapy dog, has joined The Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease (MND) to support patients and families.
The Australian Labradoodle recently met Rob and Lindsey Burrow’s children during a tour of the centre.
Gary Jevon, centre manager, said: "Pets bring people joy, and spark moments of magic, which carries real therapeutic value.
"The centre is designed to provide holistic care for families affected by MND, as well as clinical care, attending to their emotional, social and psychological wellbeing."
Frankie is an assessed and qualified therapy dog registered with Pets As Therapy.
Sam Oakes, MND family support worker, said: "Here at the centre we’re helping people living with MND and their families create lasting memories and find moments of joy throughout their journey.
"Frankie can be an amazing part of this for those families who would like to spend time with him."
