AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - The Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Georgia has added a new member to its care team — and this one has four legs and a name you won’t forget.

Meet Loretta Lynn, a two-year-old Lab who is now serving as the hospital’s newest full-time facility dog.

She joins Casey and Nugget, two companions already working to support young patients.

“Loretta Lynn came from the country music litter. Her brothers are Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash and Conway Twitty. Her sisters are Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton, and of course, we got Loretta Lynn,” said Kym Allen, Manager of Child and Adolescent Life at Wellstar Children’s Hospital of Georgia.
