Little dogs provide big boost for patients at hospital

Harper, a 29-pound Bichon Frise, just loves to be around people, and for the past 4 1/2 years, the little guy and his person, owner Billie English, have been part of the pet therapy program at a San Diego hospital. The dogs' presence gives patients -- some who are in great distress -- some time to relax with a visitor who just wants to cuddle.
