Hi! My name is Arlo, and I'm a therapy dog. My job is to help adults and kids feel better mentally in the hospital. I love my job because I get to see my friends and help people.

But recently, I haven't been able to help patients. My mom says humans and dogs are not allowed to go to the hospital for a few months. She says there is a disease called Covid-19 that makes humans very sick.

No Arlo, you can't go to the hospital today.

I miss my patients, and I'm sad because I can't see them. Who is going to make them feel better if I'm not there? I also miss my friends and the adventures my friends and I would go on.

Things are changing very fast. There's a man on the tv that tells Mom says we can't go outside anymore, which means no more walks or playdates with friends. I hope I can see my friends and patients soon.
