Snoopy and I do therapy work at a nursing home. He is certified with TDI (therapy dogs international). The insurance covers anything that might come up. They told us in class that someone's dog had his foot run over by a wheel chair and the insurance even covered that.
You should be able to totally control the situation. Sometimes people want to hold Snoopy, and I sorta let them, but I don't let go of him, and I don't force him. When he is ready to go, we go.
Sometimes our visits are just ok, but sometimes we really touch someone's life. The person who has a hard time with speech who makes a big effort to talk to Snoopy, or the one who shook really badly but petted Snoopy really touch my heart. |
