2006 - HERO Award
Our resident dogs, Star & Sunshine received the annual F.A.C.C.S. (Friends of Animal Care & Control) HERO Award. The annual award is given to recognize and honor the impact animals have on our lives through truly heroic efforts of service or personal survival.

If you have ever had to take a child to the dentist, you will really appreciate this story! Start and Sunshine are golden retriever sisters who belong to Dr. Alan and Joyce Anne Longfellow. Joyce Anne Longfellow noticed that her dogs were naturally so gentle and comforting that she took them to be trained as therapy dogs. Then, one day during a rainstorm, Joyce Anne brought the girls into the dental practice to keep them dry. They were such a hit with the patients they have been coming to the office ever since to provide comfort to patients during their time of need.
