Teddy is NOT a therapy dog, but will be with you during therapy. Let me explain….
Teddy is a highly trained service dog who was bred, raised, and trained by NEADS in Princeton, MA. NEADS is a nationally recognized non profit which has been matching service dog teams for over 50 years..
Service dogs like Teddy are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act and are granted public access rights..
Teddy’s role goes far beyond comfort, he is formally trained to “work” and actively support and assist. .
All animals can be healing. But not all animals are trained or legally recognized to work in the way service dogs are. .
And that distinction protects both the people who rely on them and the integrity of these programs. ❤️🐕🦺
