I’m Eddie the Therapy Dog. I volunteer with my Mom for Heeling House (https://heelinghouse.org/) to help kids improve their reading skills by reading to me. I visit schools and talk to kids about how to interact safely with dogs, and visit other schools and businesses to help people cope with stressful situations or loss. We also visit grandmas and grandpas in nursing homes to help them feel happy.

My nephew, Boomer is my best friend. We became famous together on our Instagram #eddieandboomer after we posted a video with a baby deer in our yard. Ellen DeGeneres reposted and so did Animal Planet! 

More about us...

·      I love the beach and I’m a really fast swimmer.

·      I’ve been a Therapy Dog for three years.

·      I love tomatoes and watermelon.

·      Boomer and I wrestle outside every day.

·      Boomer can fit three tennis balls in his mouth!  He only does that because he doesn’t want me to have a tennis ball.
