Last weekend Remus did his first unofficial therapy dog visit.
Two of my co-workers, Carrie and Deana, had invited him over to their apartment for dinner and a movie. That morning their rat, Irwinian Smithsonian Vandercoupe II, passed away. I asked them if they wanted to cancel dinner, but they still wanted him to visit.
So visit we did. I figured at the very least he may be able to help cheer them up a little bit. I think he did a pretty good job as this video will show:
Deana completely fell in love with Remus. Going so far as to invite his drooly presence onto her bed so she could cuddle him more.
And yes, that is Lord of the Rings playing on the TV.
He also tried to play with their surviving rat Barker, who seemed only mildly interested in Remus. He even earned a new nickname while there: Remus Falkorian Shadowfax.

Deana invited him onto the bed even though he drooled all over the comforter.
He loved it out on the balcony.
Overall, it was an enjoyable experience for everyone. And despite his drool, jumping on/off the couch and his constant need to go out on the balcony and back inside every five minutes he has been invited back. Probably because he manages to make people so happy despite anything else by just looking at them with his big brown puppy eyes.
