If
you are visiting our site, you are here because you are a dog-lover and
you believe in the magical connection between humans and canines. You
may have a special dog you would like to share with others. Or, you
might like to start a therapy dog program to brighten the lives of others. We welcome you to explore our Web site to learn more about Bright Spot Therapy Dogs, Inc.
As
you check out the various sections of our site, imagine for a moment
what a bright spot it would be in a lonely person’s day to have a visit from a certified therapy dog.
The simple act of stroking a dog’s head can lower blood pressure and
stimulate conversation and physical activity. Imagine, too, how a child
who is struggling to learn to read in a traditional classroom
surrounded by other students can feel relaxed and unthreatened by the
comforting presence of a canine reading buddy.
