Kevin the Berner

Kevin the Berner, a virtual therapy dog, is our guest for this episode, well, his owner/ translator Diana is! Through social media, Kevin has provided comfort to over 80-thousand people online. Wanting to have a therapy dog to make a difference in other people’s lives, Diana began taking Kevin to youth groups and assisted care facilities. During his time working with people at the care facilities, Kevin began to develop a fear of new people. Quick thinking Diana decided to begin an Instagram page for him to provide comfort for new people online, lessening his fear. Over the years they have been sharing the daily fun, adventures, dog friendly stays and hikes, making an impact virtually. This is a light-hearted episode where we dive more into what it means to be a dog owner, how to get outdoors more with your four-legged friend, and what it truly means to make a difference. If you’re looking for a pick-me-up, we highly recommend giving Kevin a follow on Instagram to bring a smile to your day.  Thanks for tuning into this episode of the Exploring Washington State Podcast!
