Loki Doggin’s Goddard
Meet Loki, the world’s largest lap dog and Viking Psychiatry & Wellness’s official therapy dog. Towering over mere mortal canines, Loki takes his job very seriously…whether it’s offering emotional support, supervising snack consumption, or demonstrating the fine art of dramatic flopping.
A true gentle giant, Loki specializes in lean therapy (where he subtly applies his full weight to unsuspecting humans), puddle impersonations (where he sprawls out like he’s melted), and telepathic treat requests (which mostly involve staring deeply into your soul until you comply).
When he’s not on duty, Loki enjoys long walks, strategic counter-surfing (but only when no one is looking), and napping in places that make no sense. With a heart as big as his paws, Loki is proof that sometimes the best therapy comes with fur, drool, and a wagging tail.
