The pup also just began working at Children’s Mercy Hospital this month. She is able to work with various patients and also takes on referrals outside of her designated areas. When she isn’t dressed up for Halloween, Children’s Mercy says Litta loves to wear a big, bright bow around her neck.

Hunter is such a good boy, and is also the oldest of the group. He’s worked with his handler at Children’s Mercy Hospital since 2015. This Halloween Hunter dressed up as a rainbow.
