This 19-year-old dog --- has an amazing effect on terminally ill patients!

Baxter is a certified pet therapy dog who offers service in a clinic for terminally ill patients by helping them prepare for death. Like his patients, Baxter is almost at the end of his life as well since he is 19 years old!

Throughout his entire life as a pet therapy dog, he has offered companionship and unconditional love to those who needed it most; unreservedly and instinctively helping them to deal with the knowledge that they must soon leave this world. Just look at the way Baxter and the elderly woman in the video exchange compassionate looks with each other ... it is enough to move you to tears!
