Hi RyuB; I haven't heard of a therapy dog for a person with bipolar specifically, but I did see a Cesar Millan episode where he helped a woman train her dog , so he could be used as a therapy dog for her anxiety. For her the dog helped decrease the amount of anxiety attacks she had because she felt calmer/safer when she was with the dog.
I know for myself my horse has been the best therapy for me. He lifts me mood when I'm depressed and calms me down when I'm too up.
