ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The newest employee at UNM Hospital is tasked with easing anxiety in the hospital’s youngest patients.
Choco is the first of her kind in the state – a dedicated service dog for the UNM Children’s Hospital.
UNM Hospital has been working on getting a facility dog for several years now. It was made possible through a grant from PetSmart Charities.
Officials said Choco’s siblings are also service dogs, including her sister, Jellybean, who works in Kansas City.
