Congratulations and happy retirement to Juno, a dog of service, who owns Nancy and Paul Jomantas. Juno has served as Hospice Northwest Ohio's Perrysburg therapy dog for the past seven years, proving that often the best therapists have four legs and fur. He began his service at age two. Juno was trained through Assistance Dogs Achieving Independence, a program of The Ability Center. Juno has provided countless hours of support and comfort to not only Hospice patients but to their families and the staff of Hospice Northwest Ohio as well. The Jomantases donated his services to the facility following the death of her father, who resided at the facility during his final days. Mrs. Jomantas felt it would be a great tribute to her father who was a perpetual giver and dog lover. Juno plans on spending his days of retirement relaxing by the family's pond and watching sports with his family. In addition, the Jomantases are attempting to bond with Venus, a mischievous but lovable German Shepherd rescue that was recently adopted by the family.
