AYE RAT RRR AEE» FER ES WFR China, a big, black Chow, brings smiles to residents like Leola Tate, left, and her brother-in-law, Grady Tate, at: White Oak Manor. Standing are volunteers Preston Todd and Tom Barnette, right, with Activity Director Shirley Mathis. China big hit at nursing home When Tommy Barnette first started volunteering at White Oak Manor he found some of the resi- dents uncommunicative. Not anymore since he intro- duced them to man's best friend, a big black Chow by the name of China. Four-year-old China belongs to China Lawson, thus the name. And, when Lawson learned that a mascot was needed by the rest home he paid for all the required shots for his pet and now China and Tommy call on almost all the residents. "Where's Bear?" asked one pa- tient on a recent visit. The lady thought the big, lovable dog looked like a bear. Another resident called China by other names because she remem- bered having a dog as a young child. "These folks ally love this dog, Page 10A-THE KINGS MOUNTAIN HERALD-Thursday, May 12, 1994 says Activity Director Shirley Mathis. "Animals are not allowed in this facility but we made an exception when China became such a hit with the patients." China goes in and out of the rooms easily. Barnette says the dog has a sixth sense. He knows exactly what door to go into and when to come out. Mathis says China cheers up pa- tients and brightens their day. They . look forward to his visit. Barnette said he became a vol- unteer after his Second Baptist Church Sunday School teacher, Preston Todd, started going to the rest home on regular visits. Leola Tate and her biother-in- law Grady Tate say that China is a blessing to residents like them. "We really look forward to that friendly mutt," said Grady Tate. Mrs. Tate said China is more than a mutt. He's family.
