Sophie is a Tri-Colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.
She was born in Lawrenceville, GA on September 22, 2007. Due a birth injury, Sophie developed Torticollis, her neck
was rotated to her left and tilted towards the right. Judy knew immediately this puppy with special
needs would be a perfect addition to beyond therapy. Once home in Jackson, Judy began a stretching program which
corrected her condition. (After all, PTs treat Torticollis in babies!)
Sophie enjoys going to work with Judy and greeting
children, families and visitors. She loves playing ball and tug-of-war. Often, children are motivated
by Sophie to perform very challenging therapy tasks. Sophie is in training to become a certified therapy dog!
