Special Dog Visit

RESIDENTS at a Hadleigh care home enjoyed a visit from a special dog.
Elizabeth House Care Home, part of the Runwood Homes Group, had a visit from Deirdre, the trophy-winning dog recently voted No.1 Hunting Dog in the UK.
Residents were delighted to meet her, spending time petting her, chatting about her achievements, and posing for photos alongside her impressive collection of trophies.
One resident, Pat, shared: “It was wonderful to see Deirdre and all her trophies that she had won. She is a very lovely dog.”
A highlight of the afternoon was when Deirdre’s owner presented her collection of awards, sparking curiosity and excitement among residents, who eagerly asked questions and admired the accolades.
The idea for the visit came from Elizabeth House’s chef, who arranged for her daughter to bring Deirdre into the home.
A spokesperson for Runwood Homes said: “Events like these are especially meaningful, as interaction with animals is known to help reduce stress and depression, as well as stimulate memories and conversation.
“Meeting such a distinguished and well-loved animal gave residents something truly special to enjoy and talk about.”
