"We are certified through the Delta Society Pet Partners program. http://www.deltasociety.org/VolunteerAboutAbout.htm I attended a one-day training program that included accompanying already certified dogs to a nursing home, and the next day I brought Fred to be tested. If you have ever gone through a Canine Good Citizen test, it is very similar, but includes scenarios the dog may be exposed to in therapy environments. "

That is a very cool thing to do! Is Stella involved with this at all also?

I think that this would be a great thing for people to learn about. Any chance you'd mind starting a new page and writing a bit on therapy dogs and what would make a good candidate for a program like this, what it involves, etc? If you wouldn't mind doing something like this, I think this would be very helpful for people to learn about and the best source of info would be someone like yourself who knows alot about it and is involved already.

If you get a chance to do this, be sure and register on the site first so that you'll get the credit for writing about this great program. This would make a great homepage article and we could put Fred up again as the coverboy! ;)
