Therapy dogs provide companionship, comfort, and support to people in a variety of settings, including hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and disaster areas. Therapy dogs are typically friendly, well-behaved dogs that have been trained to interact with people in a positive and therapeutic way.
Therapy dogs can provide a number of benefits to people, including reducing stress, anxiety, and depression; improving mood and social interaction; and promoting physical activity. Therapy dogs can also help people to cope with trauma, grief, and other difficult life events.
