Snowbird

About 

Snowbird is USF St. Petersburg’s first campus comfort dog. He was trained by Dogs Inc., formerly known as Southeastern Guide Dogs, to be a facility therapy dog, which means he provides comfort, support and therapeutic benefits. Snowbird lives with his handler, Ofc. Mark Lickenfelt, and is available to all USF St. Petersburg students, faculty and staff.
