Loni the Percheron Horse and his side kick Beau the Shitzu visited the Louis Brier Home and Hospital the afternoon of Sept. 7. This was the third (and last) time this year that the pair visited the home.

Horses evoke a sense of peace and tranquility, as do dogs. It is no secret that visiting with animals is therapeutic.
