Piper with owner, Jan Monteyne Photo provided

Piper passed her AKC Canine Good Citizen test on February 5 and became a Therapy Dog for the East Bay SPCA in June. This 1 1/2 year old Miniature Australian Labradoodle visits residents at Moraga Royale nearly every week, and happily sits on the seats of residents' walkers so they don't have to bend over to pet the dog's soft fleece coat. Piper is a bubbly, energetic little dog that becomes very calm each time she enters the doors of Moraga Royale. She will gently put her paw on a resident's arm and look into their eyes as if to say, "Tell me about your day."
