Windle Court welcomes back Poppy the PAT dog

Windle Court care home in South Woodham Ferrers, close to Chelmsford in Essex, were happy to welcome their friendly and loving PAT dog, Poppy, back into their home after their furry friend underwent an operation on her legs. Poppy made up for her time away from our residents with lots of hugs and licks on her return!
