Here is Kelly with a man who is in the hospital. Sometimes Kelly wears a hat just to make the patients smile.

Therapy Dogs seem to understand what a person is feeling. This woman has Alzheimer's Disease. She loves Trouper.

A Therapy Dog can
make a person feel better
just by looking at them.
This man looks forward to
Trouper's visits every week.

Sometimes being a
Therapy Dog means
spending time with kids
to teach them about
responsible dog care
or to help them feel better
when they're sad.
Cody looks like
he is in heaven!

To be a Therapy Dog your dog must have an excellent temperament.
If you want your dog to be a therapy dog, it is a good idea to give your dog
lots of experience with different people and places. Read our Socialization page!
