Sweet miniature dachshund Lady is bringing joy to the residents of a West Yorkshire care home with her kind nature and warm cuddles in her new role.
She works at Cleveland House Bupa Care Home in Huddersfield as a therapy dog, giving comfort to residents in their final days.
Lady bagged the care home job after 'sensing' when residents were ill and comforting them with her cuddles.
Unsurprisingly, she's become quite the hit with residents since starting on International Dog Day, August 26.
She belongs to the care home's manager, Leanne Snowden, who came up with the idea to bring her pet to work for residents to cuddle a while ago.
“Lady brings so much joy to our residents, they all love her, and Lady is so loving towards them too," said Leanne, speaking to The Mirror.

"She is happy to sit with them and to have a cuddle and she will always play along with them. When Lady runs off into the lounge to try to get more attention from our residents, they all think it’s highly hilarious watching me trying to catch her!
“We have a resident called Joyce who recently became unwell. Joyce adores Lady and she will often ask for her to come visit, to brighten up her day. The interaction between them is so lovely to see, Joyce’s face just lights up!”
Lady's days are pretty busy, with pet therapy sessions in the morning followed by an afternoon running around the care home's gardens.
She likes to finish the day with a fun game of 'fetch', playing with residents in the lounge - and one in particular is always happy to entertain her.
Geoffrey is a particular fan, telling The Daily Star: “I love Lady and I really enjoy cuddling her and playing fetch in the lounge. I’m looking forward to getting stronger and more mobile so that I can take Lady for a walk in the gardens, very soon!”

Jacob Elordi says the sexiest thing about Yorkshire is ‘rocks and sheep’
As women around the world swoon over Jacob Elordi, he's too busy loving rocks and sheep.
In case you haven't been on social media over the past week and managed to avoid the influx of paparazzi images, the hotly anticipated 'Wuthering Heights' adaptation is out soon and with that comes heaps of red carpets, screenings and glamorous premieres.
Famously set against the brooding hills of Yorkshire, Wuthering Heights by our very own Emily Brontë follows the tumultuous love story of Heathcliff and Cathy.
Played in the upcoming film by Australian heartthrobs Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie.
During the recent London premiere where Elordi was seen wearing a rather dashing green three piece, the stars were asked what they thought the 'sexiest' thing about Yorkshire is by HitsRadioUK.
A valid question to which Jacob replies "rocks and sheep". I mean, he's got a fair point.
Margot Robbie went into a little more detail, she said "Sunrise and sunset in Yorkshire is a pretty dramatic experience. The sky is literally like red and orange. I honestly couldn't believe it when I was out there. The landscape is stunning."
Why thank you Margot, we absolutely agree. She continues to shower us with compliments stating that the "People are lovely. Pubs are great. I love it"
It seems like Margot has got Yorkshire pretty bang on there, and if she ever needs any pub recommendations then we'll absolutely help her out.
Jacob on the other hand, we know rocks and sheep are sexy but...have you ever met us?
Hopefully he fell in love with our county enough to come back, as we wouldn't mind bumping into him on a hike up the Yorkshire moors.
Popular Leeds gaming bar announces immediate shock closure after going into liquidation
Clementine Hall
Point Blank in Leeds city centre have suddenly closed after going into liquidation.
The popular gaming bar hasn't been open all that long, and was marketed as the country's first simulated shooting range bar.
Despite being a popular attraction since opening last year, the bar has closed immediately, unable to honour any future bookings.
Point Blank confirmed late this Tuesday 3 February that it had sadly entered liquidation, describing the move as “completely unforeseen and beyond our control.”

Up until just a few days ago, the Point Blank branch in Leeds had been promoting events including happy hours, shooting experiences, and even a Superbowl event scheduled for next Sunday 8 February.
A statement on their website reads: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that Point Blank Shooting has entered liquidation.
"This situation was completely unforeseen and beyond our control. Due to our Manchester landlord entering administration, our lease was lost as part of that process. This had a serious knock-on effect across the wider business, leaving us with no other option.
"After seven incredible years of trading, this is a devastating moment for everyone involved at Point Blank.
"If you currently have a booking with us, we are working closely with the relevant parties to gain clarity and provide answers. We kindly ask for your patience while this process is ongoing.
"Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — hopefully this is a see you later, not a goodbye."
