Dena and her tripod Therapy Dog, a Pitbull rescue she named Petey, are helping to teach acceptance.

In this 59th episode ofTherapy Dog Talk, I spoke with Dena, an Alliance of Therapy Dogs Tester/Observer in Oklahoma, about her experiences experiences volunteering with her tripod Therapy Dog Petey. Together they’ve logged over 300 episodes earning Petey theAKC title of Therapy Dog Excellent and along the way they’ve won over every heart that Petey has met, teaching acceptance through the unconditional love of a dog.

In this episode, we discuss …

• What Dena looks for in a dog as a temperament evaluator.
• How Petey helped a child to find strength to recover.
• Why it’s important to treat others with the unconditional love of our dogs.

Give it a listen and let me know which part you found the most helpful, then follow their journey at @tripodpetey.
