| Therapy in this instance means therapy that the
dog provides to humans, not for the dog! A therapy dog is different from a service dog
that provides assistance to a disable person. There
are two basic types of therapy work. One is animal assisted activity, sometimes referred
to as "pet visitation". Friendly, well-behaved, clean and healthy dogs meet,
greet and entertain patients in hospitals, retirement homes and other similar
institutions. |
