#PETSOFLAP

Meet LAP Clinician Joe Scally's Rocco. 

Rocco is a 13 year old rescue who, we think, is part mini-pinscher and part dachshund.  He’s a small dog who loves to climb in someone’s lap and have his stomach rubbed.   He may lick your face or gently nudge you with his paw to make sure he has your full attention.  This is calming for Rocco and for the designated stomach rubber.  He often falls asleep with a dog smile on his face.  When this happens, it serves as a reminder to slow down and savor the moment. 

Check back next time for more #PETSOFLAP or share your pet with us!
