Sharing Canine Love with the Community

This talk will explore the mystery and power of therapy dogs. The canine-human bond has developed over hundreds of years. Science is now discovering the emotional, social and medical benefits of our close association with dogs.
Who are therapy dogs and their handlers? How are they trained and where do they work?
