When Polo and Star visit Sunflower Diversified Services, they generate “smiles, lots of smiles,” said Amanda Urban, the non-profit agency’s training/advocacy coordinator. “When the folks learn the dogs will be here, they are waiting at the door,” Urban commented. “And once they arrive, there is enjoyment written all over everyone’s face – not just the people we serve but the staff as well.”
