Twice a month, Tuxedo and his trainer, Bernard, arrange a playdate at the non-profit Dover Park Hospice in Singapore.
The Labrador offers the residents there a smile, a paw, a nuzzle.
There's something about pets like Tuxedo that often draw the patients out, and something wonderful happens to them.
There's often a spring in their step and sparkle in their eye as they embrace and dote on the creatures.
As Bernard says, "it's like Disneyland magic".
So what can you do for someone who has less than three months to live?
You can help spread happiness and help them to live as fully as they can.
