Triumph the therapy dog visits with Diana Pemelton and her son Carter, 3, at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt this week. Triumph, who lost both her back legs and gets around with the help of a specially designed baby stroller, was rescued by Marion "Mo" Moeller and they visit patients once a month. Other therapy dogs come to VCH every Monday.
