Sancho Paws Is Coming To Town… In a VW Van!

Therapy dogs bring comfort to patients, and they are really needed during the holidays. One special therapy dog in California got all dolled up to deck the halls in a cool VW van.

Therapy pets are staples at many healthcare facilities across the country. The science behind the comfort and support therapy pets bring grows regularly, and let’s be honest–who doesn’t love sloppy puppy kisses? Patients find them to be perfect for snuggles and love during rough times in their treatment.

The San Gabriel Valley Medical Center in California has a pet therapy program with two dogs, who of course have their own, official hospital ID badges. Sancho is one unique pup who brings cheer to patients as he zooms up and down the hallways on each floor, looking for those with whom he and his owner can love on.

The holidays are often an even tougher time to be dealing with medical issues, and Sancho has stepped up his game. He’s now flying through the halls in his merrily decked out Volkswagen Van, dressed in a jolly outfit and delighting all the patients who get to see him. Twitter user Juliee’s mother works at the center, and caught a couple of pictures of a glee-filled Sancho. She sent it them Juliee, who tweeted them out and instantly filled the internet with adorable.

Juliee said she was glad to be able to bring some smiles to the Internet, as people can’t help but smile at the sweet and silly pooch, and we agree–those candy cane antlers and that big old smile on Sancho’s face? We can’t even.

Good Job, Sancho! You are definitely on the nice list this year, and we know the patients to whom you give happiness and support love you so so so!

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
