Look at who I met---at the dentist!? This is Pocky! She is a Dachshund who is 4 years old. Pocky is NOT a therapy dog. Therapy dogs are trained to go to hospitals or high stress situations and provide comfort.

She is not calm or quiet. She startled me by barking a lot when I arrived. I was so surprised! I have been able to pet her a little. The dental assistant puts Pocky in a room when she's working. I like trying to play with her before my appointment. Even though she isn't a therapy dog, her presence helped me stop being nervous.
