More and more, dogs are being used in the management of human health and
rehabilitation situations. Dogs are trained to help blind persons
identify visual cues in their sphere, to
help hearing-impaired persons identify auditory cues, to be companions
to heart patients and cancer patients, and buddies to
soldiers with post traumatic stress disorder and other debilitative
conditions.... But what needs do therapy dogs have to keep them happy
and alert?
Specifically, what can humans do to reduce any stress these dogs might
experience?
