A Labrador has retired from the job as a cuddle manager.
He’d worked in a hospital for years helping people recover.
Yellow, black or brown, his colour didn’t matter at all.
To benefit from him you simply had to be a dog lover.

This gives a strong and inclusive message to us all.
It’s not how someone looks it’s the difference they make.
Be kind, be helpful and think about others more.
Try it now by giving someone a heartfelt handshake.

We could all be cuddle managers if we wanted.
It’s about helping someone get back on their feet.
It’s not hard and you really don’t need four legs.
A labrador is doing it while many of us take the back seat.

What a wonderfully rewarding experience it would be,
To help someone in some simple but significant way.
It might even go viral and spread round the world.
Want to give it a go? Come on, what do you say?
