Showtime! with co-hosts Ashley Kohl and Seth Stutman
Bright Spot Therapy Dogs Lily and Max were the stars on Mass Appeal today for the segment titled: Train Your Pet to Help Others. Both dogs were outstanding examples of the friendly, calm, gentle temperament a therapy dog must possess.

Volunteering with your dog as a Bright Spot certified therapy dog team is a wonderful way to give back to the community. Your dog will brighten the lives of those he/she visits and you will feel good, too, as you watch a person’s face light up with a broad smile when your dog comes into view. It’s a win-win situation. Even the dogs love it! They seem to know they are helping others.
