Thanks for the consolation and advice, everybody. I was terribly disappointed at first, but I've decided to look at it as a training opportunity. If raising dogs were easy, it wouldn't be as fun.

Izzy, I did report it to the hospital therapy dog coordinator and left it in her hands. We were in it to help patients, and if she thinks that behavior could be a risk, then I wouldn't want to do it either. She probably won't see my e-mail until tomorrow, so I'll let you know what she says.
