Leo is a gentle-hearted Labrador with a heart full of compassion and a big mission: to bring smiles, comfort, and a little extra love to everyone he meets.
As a certified therapy dog, he spends his days visiting schools, libraries, and care homes, offering friendship, joy, and calm to humans and animals alike.
His adventures inspire the Lil’ Leo children’s books, sharing stories of kindness, empathy, and caring for all creatures big and small.
Recognized with awards like the BBC Surrey & Sussex Make A Difference Award, Animal Category (2024), SBS AWARD, Leo continues to touch hearts and remind us that a wagging tail can make the world a brighter, happier place.
