Therapy dogs are not service dogs. Rather, they’re meant to provide comfort for people in vulnerable positions, such as people who are extremely sick in hospitals or those that are dying in hospice. While therapy dogs don’t have any special privileges or protections under the law, they do need to pass the American Kennel Club therapy dog test for certification, which requires them to be exceptionally well trained, calm, gentle, and friendly with strangers.
