A horse that can paint visits Sparrow Hospital

Children's cancer patients will get to meet Clifford the Horse on Monday.

Clifford will be making an appearance at Sparrow Hospital.

But this isn't any ol' horse, Clifford is a horse that paints.

Clifford the Horse is a Morgan horse from Charlotte and he's famous for his painting skills.

He is the subject of some children's books and is nationally known for his viral videos that show off his painting skills.

Patients will be taken outside on a parking deck of Sparrow to visit with Clifford.

Clifford is also taking part in Sparrow's innovative pet therapy program, where patients benefit from the healing and emotional powers of animals.

This event takes place October 1 at 4 p.m. at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing.
