A few words more about CsV in dogotherapy.
There are two kinds of dogotherapy:
AAA - Animal Assisted Activities
AAT - Animal Assisted Therapy

AAA is more easy, and many CsV with good character and socialization can do it (like Andariel or Mijke dogs).
They can go to schools, camps and more... They can educate people (specialy childrean) and work with people with dogo-fobia. They can visit hospitals and houses of special care.

AAT needs a special selection of dogs, training, exams and a big knowlaged (a person). It is a work of a group of people: a therapist, a doctor, nurse and more... and also a dog.
In AAT we should be very cautious using CsV.
This breed was not creating for this. But it is possible...
