Congratulations to Kelly and Lisa
The First Doberman in the United States
to be:
Officially certified by Therapy Dog International as a Disaster Stress Relief Dog!
The article below is an email posted here by permission from Lisa (Kelly's Owner)
Here’s a short article about the test Kelly and I took on Sunday in
Although Therapy Dog International (TDI) has previously sent dogs to
disasters such as the Oklahoma City Bombing and 911, they have just
begun an intensive testing and certification process. They
realized that a great therapy dog doesn’t always make a good disaster
dog, thus they put together the test to determine how dogs would react
to situations that might be encountered in an actual disaster.
Kelly did amazingly well and is now the first
Doberman in the country to pass the test and be
officially certified by Therapy Dog International as a Disaster Stress
Relief Dog.
