When hospital workers face the untold stress of an unprecedented health care challenge this furry friend is sharing puppy love to help ease their burden.

Wynn is a service dog in training that’s delivering mental health breathers at Rose Medical Center in Denver. Emergency room staffers cuddle with the yellow Labrador in one-minute meditation sessions, providing a moment of escape before running back to the fight against COVID-19.

"She has the ability to really calm people down," said Susan Ryan, Wynn's trainer and an emergency room physician at the hospital. "We’re working in a unique time and she helps us stay grounded."
