Dean's Development Associate's Dog Honored PDF Print E-mail

Nick, a purebred German Shepherd owned by Patty Whitecotton, was recently honored for his work as a therapy dog at the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association’s (OVMA) Annual Convention and Expo.

He was inducted into the Oklahoma Animal Hall of Fame. Patty is one of the Dean’s Development Associates at the OSU Center for Veterinary Health Sciences. She also manages the endowment held with Bank of America Private that supports the Veterinary Center's Cohn Family Shelter for Small Animals.

Nick and Patty do one therapy visit a week, sometimes two. At St. Anthony's they work with hip and/or knee replacement patients, stroke victims and adolescent behavioral groups. They also work with juvenile sex offenders at St. Michael's.
