His story
Otto started out as a therapy puppy at a children's hospital and discovered he was good at noticing who needed company. He doesn't fix things. He sits beside you, listens properly and reminds you that asking for help is brave, not weak.
He still gets excited about tennis balls, but he will always put the ball down if you need to talk.
