Lucy, a 4-year-old English Labrador Retriever, is a beloved therapy dog in Portland, Oregon, who visits hospitals, schools, and libraries to bring joy and comfort.

For nearly two years, Lucy has helped people feel calm, especially as a "pandemic pup." Lucy’s owner, Tracy Stout, keeps her busy with weekly visits, including at Catlin Gabel School, where students love her.

Lucy is nominated for Pet of the Year, a competition supporting therapy animal programs. Tracy cherishes moments like visiting a person in their final days with Lucy. Voting for Pet of the Year is open until April 14th.
