Anna Rose Van Sciver, who received a heart transplant at UF Health Shands Pediatric Hospital in 2014, listens to the heart of her new puppy, Princess Luna, with help from Dr. Amy Stone. Dr. Stone performed Princess Luna’s required set of vaccinations on Sept. 16 in the Primary Care and Dentistry Service, but she’d met Anna and her family prior to the child’s transplant during a tour of the UF Small Animal Hospital in 2014.
