Interesting Fact: Somehow Sydney knows the day that she and her human partner, Tracy, are supposed to go to the hospital.  She can't wait to get inside the car to go to the hospital to volunteer.  Tracy had been stopped by former patients in the hospital thanking her for visiting them while they were sick.  That is the best reward.
