Each Pawprints dog and handler makes their patient "rounds" at least twice a month. These "rounds" include visits with up to 10 patients, along with visiting parents, siblings, friends and Children's Hospital Boston staff. If the child requests, the dog may make a "bed visit" (the dog lays on a clean sheet on the bed) so the child may easily pet the dog. Visits typically occur in patient rooms, although some visits occur in activity rooms on the floor.
