I have been asked for more information on the therapy dog program, so here is a link to Mary's group in Memphis. http://www.midsouththerapydogs.org/ There is information on how to join the program and an impressive list of hte facilities visited. I now there are lots of list members in the area served by Mid-south and if you have ever wondered if you and your dog would like to participate, contact Mary and find out more. I know there are lots of listers who are active in therapy work and many of them would probably be happy to put you in contact with organizations like Mid-South where you could become part of a very important team. If you are involved in a program, how about giving us a link where others can find out more. Therapy dogs are some of the best PR dog can get and the public can readily understand and appreciate.
