Therapy dogs go into hospitals and visit sick patients, etc. A service animal helps a disabled (mental or physical) person throughout the day whether it be helping ease anxiety attacks, alerting seizures, picking up shoes, keys, and things. | 
Levi and I are working on his CGC and TDI certifications. The next TDI test in our area is on November 8/9, but I'm not sure we're quite ready yet.
