ANSWER: B ) "The author claims that the best type of dog for pet therapy is one that is born with a good temperament—a dog with a gentle and easy-going personality. However, I think that dogs can be trained to be good therapy pets even if they are not born with a mellow personality. They can still be trained not to bark at people or other animals and to let anyone pet them".
The author's claim on the best type of dog for pet therapy, following why the author's claim that the best kind of dog to use for pet therapy is a good temperament dog. A good temperament dog is gentle and easy going and hardly barks at people.
Unlike the other choices, the author claims that dogs CAN be trained to be good therapy pets and to have a MELLOW PERSONALITY even if they were not born with it.
