Norbert is a 10-year-old therapy dog who lives in Los Angeles. He's perhaps best known for his ability to put smiles on the faces of everyone he meets and everyone who follows along with his adventures on social media. According to his website: "In 2009, when I was 4 months old, my Mom Julie Steines (formerly Julie Freyermuth) adopted me through PetFinder.com. I was not in a shelter or rescue but I needed a special kind of home due to my tiny size."

"One day, when I was still a puppy, my Mom and I went into an eyeglass store in Boston. The woman working at the store saw me and said I would make a wonderful therapy dog. At the time, Julie didn't even know what a therapy dog was or did. After some research, we learned that therapy animals are trained and registered to provide love and comfort to people in need at places like hospitals, nursing homes, schools, hospices, disaster areas, and more." Via Norbert's website. We love featuring awesome animals that do their best to make the world a better place! One smile at a time, Norbert is truly a positive presence and an awwdorable doggo.
