Therapy Dogs in Kansas City

By: Anne Haynes

I never knew about therapy dogs until I met Karen. I met Karen when working for a client and she was able to bring her dog to work. Geo is a black lab and her name originates from a hunting game commonly used with GPS units. The game is called Geo Caching and it's a cool hobby and a great name for a dog.

A therapy dog is a dog that's trained to help the elderly. They are disciplined to refrain from licking, jumping, begging and a bunch of other things, so they can bring "safe" happiness to the elderly. And I love this!

This is Geo when she received her therapy vest:
