Watch: Therapy dog enjoys retirement party

A therapy dog that supported thousands of hospital patients has retired.

Staff at the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham held a party for Ruby to celebrate her seven years of service.

Her owner, Dale Buckland, set up the Pets Offering Ongoing Care Help & Extra Support, in 2012.

Ruby has now been replaced by Mr Buckland's other dog, Bertie.
