History of
Therapy Dogs

Hospital Dogs

Is that a tail wagging? Who
is walking down the hospital
hallway? Its a therapy dog!

This service dog is helping
its owner cross the street.

Therapy dogs are different from
service dogs. A service dog is
trained to do a specific job. A
therapy dog gives comfort.

At a hospital, therapy dogs
spend time with patients.
They help patients feel calmer
and happier.

Therapy dogs
are for petting!

Some hospital patients have
dogs at home. They miss
their furry friends. Petting a
therapy dog could make them
feel better.

Some hospitals allow therapy
dogs and their handlers to
visit almost any patient . At
other hospitals, a handler
must get a doctors okay
before visiting a patient.

Doctors know which
patients feel well
enough for a dog visit.

Handlers keep
therapy dogs
clean. But they
also put a towel
under the dog
to be extra safe.

A therapy dog may lie in bed
with a patient. The handler
puts a towel under the dog to
keep the bed clean.

Handlers train therapy
dogs to be calm and
friendly. A therapy
dog must always obey
its handler.

Some hospital rooms have
machines. The machines help
heal the patients. Therapy dogs
are careful not to get in the way
of anything in the room.

School D o gs

Have you ever wished you
could bring your dog to
school? Its probably against
the rules. But maybe another
dog will be at school to help
you learn!

Therapy dogs are trained
to sit quietly at schools.

Therapy dogs and their
handlers visit schools to help
students read. Some students
would rather read to a dog
than to a person.

Therapy dogs are patient

while students

read. The dogs

dont laugh if

students get

stuck.

College students have
a lot of work to do.
This can cause stress.

Therapy dogs also visit
colleges. College students
may feel stress. Petting a
therapy dog can help!

Therapy dogs can feel stress
too. At schools, dogs take
breaks away from students.
Therapy dogs need a quiet
place to rest.

Support
Dogs

This patient is healing from
an injury. The therapy dog
is helping!

After an injury, people may
need physical therapy. They
must exercise to get better.
A therapy dog helps to get
them moving.

This dog is ready
for a walk. Lets go!

Some patients want to stay in
bed when they dont feel well.
But they may get up to pet a
therapy dog.

Therapy dogs help
patients relax. Some
patients feel better talking
to dogs than to doctors.

Other patients have a mental
illness. Therapy dogs help
them feel better.
