Nominated by her carers, Joan is 94 years old, and a client of HomeInstead Warrington & Lymm. Joan used to have a dog, Sadie, who she considered to be her best friend and they were inseparable until sadly, Sadie passed away.  

Pollard's Promises and the QCG team raised funds to send this wonderful lady a "robotic" dog which she has named Buster. Recreating some of the sounds and movements of a puppy and responsive to touch, Buster provides Joan with a degree of companionship and comfort that is important given she has vascular dementia lives alone.
