I love the idea of Yorkies being used as therapy dogs. To be honest, one in the 5-7 pound range would be the smallest I can see being safe in the hospital/SNF/Hospice environment. It's a long way down to the floor from a lap or hospital bed. Medications used in those settings can make it difficult to handle something much smaller.

Good luck with your endeavors. We love the dogs that come visit in my hospital. They make our day as much as they brighten up our patient's lives.
