We enjoyed a remarkably moving evening last night at the gala Hero Dog Awards. We enjoyed seeing several of our human heroes, such as Betty White and Victoria Stilwell. But the dogs were the true stars.

The first therapy dog in recorded history was a Yorkshire Terrier named Smoky. Learn more about his heroism during WWII.

Also known as an Allergy Alert Dog, a Peanut Dog is not a dachsund wearing a tight belt, nor the newest flavor of dog treat, but rather a highly-trained service dog that uses scent tracking to save the lives of individuals suffering from deadly peanut allergies.

Therapy Dog Training is the most rewarding work you can do with your dog, as it affords both of you an opportunity to share your love with the people in the community who need it most.
