I have a mini doxie who rules me. When I am depressed she stays close to me; when I don't feel well she "orders" me into bed to rest by sitting on my chest and then nudging me toward the bedroom (which she did yesterday twice!).
I've had more than one special dog; in fact, my psychiatrist wrote a letter for me about my Doberman a few years ago in order to get that dog accepted into an apartment.
Yes, pets are definitely therapy dogs sometimes.
