Larry,
I think it depends on who you are dealing with in therapy dog groups.  One 
of my friends, who is blind and uses a guide dog, certified with Therapy 
dogs International - not sure if that was the organization; have to ask her. 
Her dog was certified but the agency she was going to do her pet therapy and 
volunteering work with had a problem with her BLINDNESS.  It was a hospice 
place!

Landon is cerrtified with Humane Society.
