HCs: Perrito learning therapeutic / service techniques
Perrito lives up to his self-proclaimed title as “Therapy Dog” with flying colors, and not just due to his unrelenting optimism. He’s smart as a whip, and learns insanely quickly.
He goes beyond basic therapeutic needs, picking up on certain service techniques faster than it would take for a typical dog to be trained in one.
If Puss is feeling anxious at all, Perrito will catch on immediately and make sure to stay extra close to him for the time being. If he starts showing any cues for his anxiety (which, in Puss’ case, can consist of stuttered breathing, hypervigilance, and his fur standing on end), Perrito will gently paw at him or nudge his head underneath his paw, silently telling him to pet him.
He doesn’t just help Puss; Kitty suffers from chronic pain due to her declawing, so Perrito will often fetch things for her before she can even stand up to get it. He’ll also take note of whenever she’s massaging her paws, and will lie down on his back next to her so she can “make biscuits” on his belly, as it works as a form of self-soothing for her.
Both cats had trouble getting used to the sudden increase in care upon traveling with the dog. Puss would sometimes push Perrito away, not wanting to feel coddled like some scared kitten, and Kitty would tend to scold the dog for retrieving things for her, claiming that she could take care of herself and wasn’t some fragile old lady.
However, as time goes on, the two of them do eventually learn to accept his help, and soon to appreciate it. They’re both rather surprised at how much…lighter they feel knowing they all have each other to lean on when they need it.

NO!! BAD PERRITO PUT THAT DOWN!!!
i like to think after the events of the movie he becomes a licensed therapist instead of a therapy dog because he has a natural affinity for psychology.

My local school district just added a "facility dog" (therapy pup) to one of the Elementary schools. (There's already one at the High School.)
Now, I love all the doggos. And working doggos are awesome. Such good bois.
I understand hospital dogs - hospital visits are usually unexpected and scary. For lots of people, not only are you not feeling well, but you're in a new, weird place.
But our public schools are so traumatic that we need therapy dogs? Public school, where we expect Children to spend a majority of their time? Who Screwed Up That Bad?

So samarie got a therapy dog. He's the cutest pit bull. He's a rescue from a dog fighting ring, apparently. It's amazing how much dogs can put up with and still be the sweetest things on the planet. His name is Doser

Met Miss Daisy the therapy Groodle today. She’s 6 months old and training to be a therapy dog. Her owner was a lovely lady who allowed us to interact, pat, and photograph Daisy. Such a sweet pup.
