TEMPE, Arizona (KNXV) — Dozens of gentle giants filled the plaza of Friendship Village Healthcare Center in Tempe on Saturday to answer the wish of a Valley woman in hospice.
Angie Pierce has been a long-time owner and fan of the massive breed. However, she said she can no longer have her own due to cancer.
“I used to raise Great Danes in Florida. I no longer have one, so I just fell in love with these dogs and wish I could have them again,” Pierce said.
Pierce said she had one wish: to have a Great Dane visit her.
The Regal Dane Rescue worked with the community meetup group, the AZ Dane Army, to surprise her with more than 30 Danes on Saturday afternoon.
