Therapy dog Harmony

Harmony

Harmony is a six-year-old black Labrador with a heart full of joy. Her favourite colour is purple, and her ultimate happy place is in water – whether it’s the sea, a pool, or even muddy puddles, she’s ready for a splash!

When she’s not making waves, Harmony is a true cuddle bug. She loves nothing more than snuggling on the couch and getting her belly rubbed. Her ears are incredibly soft, like velvet, and she adores having them patted.

Harmony has a wonderful way with people; she’s very aware of when someone needs a cuddle or a lap, always ready to offer comfort. She’s a confident and playful pup, finding immense joy in making her special humans feel loved and supported. For Harmony, every day is an adventure, and she thrives on connecting and engaging with the world around her.
