For handlers

Custom therapy dog bookmarks.

Five of the twenty designs are drawn specifically for therapy dog work. Put your own dog's name on them and they stop being clip art and start being the card a child keeps.

Reading Buddy
A bespectacled dog listening while a child reads. The one for library and school reading programs — and it is drawn ink-light, so a class set does not drain the cartridge.
Therapy Dog on Duty
The vested portrait, calm, a hand resting on its head. The straightforward “this is my therapy dog” card.
Bedside Rounds
A vested visit at a hospital bedside, chin near a reaching hand. Laminate this one — it wipes down between rooms.
The Comfort Visit
Head resting on a lap while a hand strokes its ears. For care homes, counseling offices, and anywhere the visit is about sitting still.
In Training
A trainee holding a perfect sit for the clicker and a treat. For the dog still working toward certification — and a nice thing to hand a puppy raiser.
A practical note on the name field: it is sized for a name — about a dozen characters sits comfortably on the tag. “Biscuit” and “Sadie” look right; “Sadie the Reading Buddy” will run past the edge. If you want the role as well as the name, print the name on the front and write the rest on the back of the card stock.
The breeds

Nine portraits, and the ones that are not a breed at all.

Breed portraits cover the dogs people actually ask for; the remaining six designs are about the relationship rather than the pedigree.

The other six are deliberately breed-agnostic, because a lot of the reason people want a dog bookmark has nothing to do with breed: a giant paw print with a heart-shaped pad, a paw resting in an open hand, a rescue pup bounding out of the kennel gate, a gray-muzzled senior asleep in a patch of window sun, a frisbee catch at full stretch, and a silhouette on a hilltop facing the sunrise. Those last few are the ones people print for themselves rather than for a kid.

Dog bookmark questions

Dog bookmark questions.

Can I make custom therapy dog bookmarks with my dog's name?

Yes — that is what the therapy set is built for. Choose one of the five therapy designs, turn on names, and type your dog's name on each bookmark. Handlers hand these out in library reading programs, school visits, and hospital rounds, and a card with the actual dog's name on it is what the child remembers. Keep the text to the name itself (roughly a dozen characters reads best); a long phrase will not fit the tag.

Which therapy dog designs are included?

Five: Therapy Dog on Duty (the vested portrait with a hand resting on its head), Reading Buddy (a bespectacled dog listening to a child read — the ink-light one, made for printing in volume), The Comfort Visit (head resting on a lap), Bedside Rounds (a vested visit at a hospital bedside), and In Training (a trainee holding a sit for the clicker).

What dog breeds are in the set?

Nine breed portraits: golden retriever, Labrador, German shepherd, French bulldog, bulldog, beagle, border collie, Siberian husky, and poodle. Alongside those are a paw-print design, a paw resting in a hand, a rescue pup leaving the kennel, a gray-muzzled senior, a frisbee catch, and a sunrise hilltop silhouette.

Is dog-earing a page really that bad, or should I use a bookmark?

Folding the corner creases the paper fibers permanently — the crease stays after you flatten it, and on older or thinner paper the corner eventually tears off. For a paperback you own and reread, that is your call. For a library book, a borrowed book, or anything you would like to keep in good shape, a bookmark costs nothing and does no damage. That is the entire argument, and it is why we drew twenty of them.

Can I print a mixed sheet with different dogs on it?

Yes — tap any four designs and they lay out on one sheet, so you can put the golden retriever, the beagle, the husky, and the paw print together. Mixed sheets are the right choice for a classroom basket or a shelter adoption table where everyone picks a favorite; a single design repeated four times is better when the bookmarks are for one dog.

Are these dog bookmarks really free to print?

Completely free — no account, no watermark, no locked designs. The PDF is built by your own browser, so the dog's name you type never leaves your computer. Four designs print ink-light (Reading Buddy and Paw in Hand among them) if you are running a big batch.
