Claire has a big job at Branson U-Haul. Claire is the therapy dog and professional greeter for the business.

Claire's handler, Kayra, explained that Claire's soothing presence helps keep stress at bay and helps to keep potential conflicts at a minimum.

While therapy dogs are professionally trained to know what to do, Claire found herself in her own traumatic situation which resulted in her spending some time in intensive care. According to Kayra, after she recovered, Claire automatically knew what to do when stress rises and instinctively finds—and goes to—the people who are the most anxious.

Though Claire is based out of the Branson U-Haul office, she and Kayra travel around the region frequently, visiting offices and offering comfort.

Claire has been a part of Branson U-Haul for a year and a half.
