How do you know that your dog enjoys being a therapy dog?	Nutmeg loves to snuggle up with people. She especially enjoys listening to children read books to her.
Any other information that you would like to include about your dog:	Nutmeg lives with her littermate brother, Cinnamon, and her distant great-uncle Jasper. Whenever she comes home from a therapy visit, the first thing she does is search out Jasper. Jasper's hearing is not very good, and Nutmeg brings him right to me when we get home.
