Pet therapy helps healing for cancer center patients

IN THE NEWS: Patients at the UCI Health Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center infusion center look forward to visits from their favorite Monster, a black Havanese with a white beard and eyebrows.

Earlier this month, Orange County Register joined Monster and Carolyn during one of their weekly infusion center visits.
