The nonprofit Therapy Dogs of Long Island brought goldendoodles Ken and Barbie and a 4-year-old shichon, Pumpkin, to Birchwood Assisted Living in East Northport, where residents played with the dogs and gave them treats. The residents look forward to each visit, which has happened twice a month for the past year.  Credit: Shayna Greene
