What Is a Therapy Dog?

Posted by Barbara Techel

This week Frankie and I did a presentation via Skype for 1st graders and primary class in Eastern Canada.  Before I shared Frankie’s therapy dog work with them I asked if they knew what a therapy dog did.  One little boy had the perfect answer:

“A therapy dog makes people happy when they are sad.”

Short, to the point, and simpy beautiful!
