Todd exemplifies all the qualities that make for an exceptional therapy dog. His calm, steady temperament allows him to remain composed in a wide range of environments, from hospitals and nursing homes to schools and community events. He is naturally affectionate and intuitive, often sensing when someone needs comfort and responding with gentle, reassuring presence.
Todd’s confident, unflappable nature makes him especially effective in high-stress or unfamiliar situations—he's not easily startled and adapts quickly to new people and surroundings. His athleticism gives him the stamina needed for extended visits, while his cuddly, affectionate side makes him a favorite among both children and adults.
Just as importantly, Todd embodies the temperament described in the Poodle breed standard: intelligent, eager to please, and emotionally in tune with his handler. These traits not only make him a joy to live with but also enable him to form meaningful connections with those he visits, leaving a lasting impact everywhere he goes.
