"Curious" George D. JacobOfficial Therapy Dog, Professional Napper, and Lobby Ambassador Extraordinaire

Originally hailing from Salt Lake City Utah, George D. Jacob is now a seasoned veteran of the therapy dog world—at three years old, he's been on the job for nearly three full human years, which, if you ask him, translates to a whopping 21 dog years of experience. That officially makes him one of the most experienced employees on staff. (He's currently considering asking for a raise in belly rubs.)

In the time since his puppy debut, George has mastered the art of comfort. He's instinctively empathetic and often invites himself into therapy sessions, quietly settling in to provide his signature brand of calm, tail-wagging support. He's also known as the therapist to the therapists, keeping their stress levels low with unsolicited cuddle breaks, which actually means leaning on their legs until they scratch his ears or give him a treat.

Of course, George still lets his youthful side show. He's been caught sneaking away from "work" to visit his favorite ladies at the front desk (self care is important after all), and he has a strict personal policy: he gets to decide when greetings happen. (Some call him a snob, he calls it 'selectively social' and professional boundaries - ask any introvert and they'll agree.) Nevertheless, he remains the ultimate greeter and the first smile most clients see when they enter the lobby.

George's fame has spread far and wide—he's recognized even when he's off duty or out of town. He continues to live up to his nickname, Curious George, always eager to investigate a new smell, a new visitor, or an irresistible stick.

In his free time, George enjoys wrestling with his two brothers (often instigating trouble), going—well, anywhere—in the car, and spending quality time with his Aunties, who he believes are absolutely the cat's meow. His heart for others remains unmatched, and his commitment to making people smile is unwavering.

George is available for co-therapy sessions Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, at the Decatur office. Just let your therapist know if you'd like an extra dose of fur-covered happiness in your session, he'll be your co-therapist, your emotional support, and your new best friend—unless he's busy napping, in which case, try again in five minutes.

A thought from George...

"Therapy is hard work... but someone's gotta do the napping, too."
