There is no legal definition for therapy dogs.

Therapy dogs are working dogs that have an
important job of making people feel better,
but they are not entitled to the same public
access as service dogs.

Therapy dogs are permitted in public
accommodations only by permission of each
establishment.
They are not guaranteed public access. The dog
that is accompanying me today is a therapy dog
and is in the hotel today by permission.
