This therapy dog duo is dedicated to making a difference. Ruby, part retriever, part cocker spaniel and 100% devoted, is a seven-year-old rescue with a heart of gold, while Steve is a dog trainer and retired teacher of social policy from Humber College. Steve trained Ruby as a service dog and she now brings comfort to visitors at Mount Pleasant Funeral Centre as a therapy dog.

Ruby is a “velcro dog” who never wants to be far from her person, loves liver treats, gentle exercise and snuggling with her best friend — a cat named Kit. Together, Steve and Ruby are helping to create calm, connection and care in a meaningful way.

🍄100% natural: Grown in just seven days from local mushroom species (mycelium) and upcycled h**p fibers.

🍄Biodegradable: After burial, the Cocoon™ becomes one with nature within 45 days.

Did you know? Trees in cemeteries face considerably more stress to their roots, due to disruption from burials and compaction from people walking overhead. To ensure they stay healthy, we often seek to plant trees with deep, resilient root systems such as oak or walnut.
