How Do You Know That Your Dog Loves Therapy Work?

Ripley gets very excited as soon as I get his Therapy Dog Vest out, he jumps around the room very excited. He loves being petted and meeting new friends. He has four sheltie siblings that are registered Therapy Dogs and each one is very eager to go on a visit, as soon as they see their Therapy Dog Vest they all follow Wendy into the garage and into the van thinking they are the ones going on a visit, it is hard to leave the others behind because they are all so eager to go!
