We are so thrilled to share this Heartwarming video interview with wonderful Jen and Gizmo the Therapy Dog and Wonder Doglet from https://www.facebook.com/GizmosFrens
Their generosity and kindness inspire us – and their work in the Hartford Public Library and various schools inspires countless children. They make a difference every day visiting hospitals, dialysis centres, schools and libraries. It is amazing how Therapy dogs like Gizmo can help with healing, anxiety, self esteem and reading. Gizmo the 3.5lb Wonder Doglet is unbelievably cute and sweet, and brings smiles to people wherever he visits.

We will donate 40% of YouTube revenue from this Heartwarming video in 2014 to Homeward Bound Rescue (Kilo my foster dog’s Rescue).
Thank you everyone please share this great story and help dogs in need.
Thank you, Talent Hounds. You put your heart into your work, and it shows! Humbled to be a part of your mission.
Thank you so much for everything you and Gizmo do! We love being Frens and sharing such inspirational stories. XS
Jen and Gizmo are my neighbors. I know firsthand all of the wonderful things they do in the community. Once we had a neighbor who was very distressed about something in their life, and without hesitation, Jen let the neighbor “borrow” Gizmo for the night to try to ease her anxiety. So without people like Jen, there wouldn’t be dogs like Gizmo.
Thanks!! We agree – Jen is awesome – so positive, kind and generous – it is no surprise that Gizmo is so sweet. Together, they do so much to help others. XS
What a great video! Gizmo truly is an awesome dog giving back in so many ways. My Husky and I are a therapy dog team, participating in a Paws2Read program as well, in Phoenix AZ. Gizmo’s small size probably makes him even more approachable to kids, as some are scared of larger dogs.
Love & Biscuits,
Cathy, Isis & Phoebe

Aww thanks Rachele. I do too, this has been a real passion project. So lucky to have met friends or Frens like them.

Thanks so much for sharing Gizmo’s story! Love Dolly
Thanks Dolly! They really are amazing
Woof to Gizmo 🙂 Sugar is a therapy dog too and she goes to the read to the dog library. Therapy Dogs Rocks! Golden Woofs
They sure do!!!! Maybe we can come and film Sugar one day too. I really love the reading programs- so many benefits for kids, especially those with challenges. I plan to do more to research and support. XS
What a great video, Thanks for highlight the work Gizmo and Jen and Therapy Dogs everywhere.Such good work.
Thanks Mark. It’s very inspiring for me! XS
Gizmo is just adorable – what an inspiration dog!
I love how the kids hold their books so Gizmo can see!
I know- so cute! and very effective. Gizmo makes them feel like great readers. XS
Mr. N just started therapy work a few weeks ago! He’s working with kids at a domestic violence shelter.
How wonderful! I bet Mr N brings smiles to kids who really need them. The non-verbal communication and empathy must be very good XS
it is amazing how much animals help… Gizmo is awesome!
Thanks Hilary. We think Gizmo is awesome too XS
Gizmo is so sweet, and for a therapy dog he’s absolutely perfect – people are so easily connected with sweet, calm dogs, and his size is great for anyone that’s not too familiar with dogs.
I love when therapy dogs are promoted. It is so important that the general public understands that we need dogs in our lives!
