Axel, a 4-year-old Rottweiler, was recently named the nation's top therapy dog by the American Kennel Club as part of their 2022 awards for canine excellence.

"I'm not surprised at all, he makes my day every time he comes here," Clinical Coordinator Colleen Stancavage told FOX 29. "When you see him coming down the hall you're like ‘it’s going to be okay'."John Hunt, co-founder of Crisis Response Canines, is Axel's handler and trainer.
"He's able to adapt, he's able to take on the stress of others and people feel that release time and time again," Hunt said.
