Therapy dogs for cancer patients?

My boss is in TGH ( Tampa General Hospital) and has leukemia. She LOVES dogs and i really want to find a way to do something nice. Can someone please update me how i go about this or if i even can or what the cost would be. Are their volunteer groups? Please any information will be appreciated i know she will appreciate this
Answers:    First, check with the hospital to variety sure that they allow therapy dog visits. Then, check with the hospital's clinical social work department or the cancer diligence coordinator. They often arrange therapy dog visits for patients, and sometimes in truth have dogs on staff. If the hospital allows therapy dog visits but doesn't enjoy any dogs on staff, contact TDI or the Delta Society. They should be able to put you in contact with local psychotherapy dog volunteers who may be willing to visit if the hospital allows it.
