Social Visit Dog
Social Visit dogs bring comfort to patients at nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and schools. They differ from therapy or assistance dogs, because their role is entirely social --they have no training for specific therapeutic or assistance activities. Social dogs may or may not be certified; any well behaved dog can volunteer for social activities that nonetheless contribute greatly to the well being of the people receiving the visit.
