May is here — This month’s DaVinci Digest brings you Ember, the Keeshond “living teddy bear” whose quiet presence has comforted veterans from the Pentagon to Honor Flights. Adults and children that could hug and pet Ember say she is a ‘Living Teddy Bear.’

You’ll also find:
🐾 Sentara’s therapy dog program exploding from 1 to 5 volunteers
🐾 Fairfax County’s spring wildlife guidance
🐾 A first look at Animal Expedition 2026 at Reston Town Center
🐾 A brand‑new Purple Heart Foundation Battle Buddies initiative
🐾 And a full calendar of dog‑friendly May events across Northern Virginia

If you love therapy dogs, community stories, and the magic they create — this month is for you.
