Therapy dogs to bark their vows at wedding
After years of friendship and service, two Tampa General Hospital volunteers are getting hitched -- for better or worse.
The blushing bride: a female Chihuahua named Chicklet.
Her betrothed: an American Lab named Blake.
It's the hospital's first therapy dog wedding.
TGH spokeswoman Ellen Fiss said there's no real reason for it — no fundraising push, no ad campaign — it's just for fun.
It is June, after all. "June is wedding month," Fiss said.
The ceremony will be Thursday in the hospital's child life playroom. A TGH employee with a notary license will officiate, with pediatric patients blowing bubbles to send off the couple, reports the St. Petersburg Times.
Two other therapy dogs, golden retrievers Samantha and Simba, will be "bridedogs," and greyhound Blaze will stand by Blake as "best dog."
No word yet about where the couple is registered, though one gift already has been promised —a canine-friendly ice cream cake made by a hospital employee.
