Veteran newscaster Shepard Smith noticed how inactive his dog Laura became after quarantine protocols were put in place. With that, he decided to come up with in-house games to try and boost Laura’s spirit. Most of his tactics didn’t work until Lira came along. Lira’s playfulness has magically pumped life into Laura, who enjoys the company offered by her new-found friend. Smith hopes things will quickly return to normal so that the two dogs can enjoy the outdoors again.
