The little yellow house is sad to say goodbye to the irreplaceable yellow lab, Owen. Owen has been David’s sidekick for almost thirteen years. You could find Owen loving on families with his friendly, furry presence…endlessly fetching a tennis ball to help boys relax during deep discussions…but most often, you could find Owen napping the day away in David’s office as his easy going presence comforted hurting kids.
He even kept busy in his days off. When Owen wasn’t at Daystar or playing with his beloved Thomas family, he often spent time at Vanderbilt Children’s hospital. This pet therapist made his mark at the Hematology/Oncology Clinic for children with cancer. Owen was also part of a research study with several other children’s hospitals across the country that confirmed the positive impact of dogs on kids newly diagnosed with cancer.
We sure are grateful for the paw print Owen left on so many hearts at Daystar.
