No one is better at pulling us out of a sad mood than our dogs. They know exactly when we need a cuddle and a smile and they are always happy to be by our sides when we need them the most. For Lulu the Goldendoodle, this ability to cheer people up is more than just a simple dog trait – it is her job!
Sweet Lulu goes to work every morning at Ballard-Durand Funeral & Cremation Services in Westchester, New York and sets out to comfort grieving families. Even just her mere presence is enough to bring a little Support to those who need it the most.
“She’s a priceless gift for our staff and the families we serve. We’re partners,” said Matthew Fiorillo, CEO of the funeral home and Lulu’s guardian. “She’s wonderful and extremely curious; she’s allowed to wander anywhere in the funeral home, we have little jars of treats in several areas to engage her.”
Getting pet and eating treats might not seem like a difficult job for a dog to have, but it is undoubtedly a very important one.

Is One Green Planet putting up free advertising for this funeral parlor for their paid services? I expected to see how this wonderful animal is comforting bereaved families, and what we see is an advertisement for the funeral home!
