A  lady lies in bed and has so for a number of years.  She can not move any part of her body and exists because of a feeding tube.  A little brown poodle sits next to the resident in the bed. And all of a sudden, an arm comes up and strokes the dog. This simple action to you and me is a mammoth achievement for this person. Scenes like this happen routinely and are not unusual to a registered therapy dog. It is expected.  To the handler of the therapy dog it is nothing short of a miracle.  The act of holding and petting a dog and receiving a kiss or a wag of the tail brings a smile to every face these dogs encounter.

      Let me introduce you to our therapy dogs through these pictures. Words are not needed only eyes to see.
