SkinSmart Dermotology receives unique Valentine's Day gift

BRADENTON,Fla. - Love is in the air inside SkinSmart Dermatology in Sarasota, puppy love to be exact.  Move over chocolate and flowers, puppies were delivered Tuesday!  

"When I got the email the other day I thought we're such animal loves here at the office, what a better idea to support Nate’s and have a puppy gram delivered on Valentine’s Day," said Dr.  Elizabeth Callahan.

The pups come from Nate's Animal Shelter in Bradenton.

This is the second year they've delivered these Valentine K9's.  A hundred-dollar donation to the shelter lands you 30 minutes of prime puppy time. 

"This is a great opportunity for the puppies.  We're one of 4 teams, so there's 8 puppies out total," said Nate’s volunteer Jill Hennessey. 

"Yes puppies do make work better, on occasions I bring my dog to work and dogs are they're definitely the healing connection," Dr. Callahan said. 

The pups are eight weeks old and should be available for adoption in about a week or so.

"This is the best Valentine’s gift that we've ever received, better than candy, flowers," said Amy Hoover, a medical esthetician.

There is one downside however, saying goodbye.
