    Dogs are the best creature on this planet. They don't care how you look, they don't judge, they only want to love you and be loved. They are the living embodiment of unconditional love. I don't think there is any greater creation than dogs. They are called man's best friend for a reason.

    So cute at the 2:30 point in the video when Fraser acted as a "demonstration model" (aka "guinea pig" LOL) to show the little boy how the various medical examination "tools" are used, and they are nothing to be afraid of. I think it worked. Fraser is a beautiful black lab, with a calm, sweet disposition.

    Every single example here is priceless but I have to give a particular shoutout to that brave boy. As someone who had surgeries as a child and was terrified of routine exams, seeing this boy watch the dog have the same exams and then be able to be the doctor for the dog all while learning to be brave to allow the tests to be done on him makes all the time and effort to have these dogs beyond worth it.

    In Rehab - a nurse brought her Maltese to work so he was minded by A volunteer. His job was visiting all the patients. I saw the faces of the Dementia patients light up as they enjoyed a pat from this little ball of fluff. I have seen Arthritic hands straighten with the use of a therapy dog to pat. Best therapy for all ages & the oldies re-live their childhoods.

      I am actually trying to start a non-profit that will utilize therapy animals to help those with disabilities. I have just made a gofundme account to do so, and figured what a better audience than those who cherish youtube videos. If you have a minute, could you check out my link and give it some consideration? It's small at the moment, because I just made it, but with your help I truly believe it can expand. Thank you for the time.

      Marie-Christine Meier. Please look into legitimate therapy dog organizations such as Therapy Dogs International or many local organizations. BTW...CGC I assume means Canine Good Citizen. an award from the American Kennel Club . It is not a therapy dog Certification. If the team in the video is certified by an organization Other than AKC CGC...that vest should be changed and the team's credentials should be seen in video.

Animals just exude such love & make people so happy! Whoever voted "dislike " regarding this video was just trying to be an obnoxious jerk. Ignore him or her! There's nothing to dislike about this video!!

    I had a Service dog when I was younger named Roxie every time I was admitted into the hospital my parents would bring Her to the hospital to stay with me. Every time they would go into the hallways she always stopped at different Rooms and not move. She was 60lb stubborn so my parents would ask the nurse if the patient in that room would like a visit from her and every room she went into always would cuddle with the patients and every patient she visited always told my parents thank you and they needed a good dog cuddles.

    We Recently completed therapy dog class offered by an AKC certified dog training club associated with national therapy organization. Before you can take the therapy class, you need to take CGC (canine good citizens) test. To take CGC test your dog should complete level 1 and Level 2 obedience. I repeated twice to build a strong foundation of basic obedience. We recently started competing in rally which is a fun way to reinforce commands and are also taking competition obedience. Therapy class was 6 weeks and an 8 hour class for handler. AKC evaluator will test you and your dog. Only 2 dogs/handlers passed in our class.

    I approve of therapy dogs...as long as the dog is getting what it needs too. They shouldn't be treated like a thing to sit and wait for the majority of the day till they are needed by the owner with physical or emotional need. I'm sure most are loved unconditionally....I just hope they get their needs met as well....they are too special.
