"She failed at agility and she failed at obedience, but she's a great therapy dog." That's the statement from Ellen Morell, a former dental hygienist, planned giving consultant and current ordained Episcopal priest who now works at Harmony Hospice in Tucson. Eight years ago, Morell obtained a bulldog puppy named Laci and they've become great friends. Together, they've become a popular team that visit nursing homes and other facilities to provide company and comfort to residents.
