HARRISONBURG, Va. (WHSV) - One organization in Harrisonburg whose mission is to provide friendship and service recently donated some four-legged friends to residents at local assisted living facilities.Through grant funding, two sets of robotic pets were purchased and donated by the Pilot Club to memory care units at Brookdale Senior Living and Virginia Mennonite Retirement Community.Although they're not real cats and dogs, president-elect Kathy Clancey said it's a joy to know they can still provide comfort for residents who suffer from dementia and other memory-loss issues.
