Frequently Asked Questions
There are a lot of frequently asked questions about therapy dogs, I am about to list some of them about Sophie.

Oxytocin in humans has been shown to strengthen social bonds, and reduce blood pressure, stress, and anxiety. It generally makes you feel better. That's why we have a therapy dog, it helps create a loving bond and helps remove stress from our classmates.
