The pup, named Sancho, volunteers with his owner at the San Gabriel Valley Medical Center in California.
A hospital spokeswoman told BuzzFeed News that Sancho zips around in his VW car, spreading joy throughout the floors on a regular basis. Another dog visits the facility as well.

She added: "Everybody loves it, everyone looks forward to the dogs coming in."
Sancho's Christmas outfit is extra merry, with lots of sparkles and ornaments adorning his car.

This week, a Twitter user named Julie tweeted out some pictures of Sancho at the hospital. She told BuzzFeed News her mom, who works there, sent them to her.
