Therapy dogs? When did that happen? What breed makes a good therapy dog?
Hello,

There is no one best breed. In general, a good therapy dog is responsive to its owner as well as other people, has good manners, is willing to learn new things and does not become overly stressed in new or different situations. However, the dog must be at least one year old, healthy, have evidence of current inoculation, and be able to pass a qualifying therapy dog test.
