What Is a Therapy Dog?
Therapy dogs play a different helping role than service dogs and emotional support animals. They aren’t trained to livTherapye with a specific handler. Rather, these are dogs that, with their human teammate (often the dog’s owner), volunteer in clinical settings. These locations include hospitals, mental health institutions, hospices, schools, and nursing homes. These dogs provide comfort, affection, and even love in the course of their work. Therapy dogs are trained to be comfortable in new environments and to interact with different people. They should have a calm temperament, be unfazed by unfamiliar noises and movements, be comfortable being handled, and love people.

Once Fishy gets some speed up, the children could be fair game with the hounds barrelling through. The dogs might weigh more than the children?
As you speculated in another video I think, Dotty could be around for another ten years in the life of the family. The dogs and the children will grow together which will be terrific.
