Without assistance dogs, many people with disabilities would not be able to live independently. These special dogs provide invaluable help with everyday tasks such as opening doors, turning lights off and on, picking up dropped items, and providing balance and stability when walking.

What is an assistance dog?

An assistance dog is a dog that is trained to help people with disabilities. Assistance dogs can perform many tasks, such as opening doors, picking up items, and helping people to walk. They can also provide emotional support to their owners.

There are different types of assistance dogs, including guide dogs, hearing dogs, and service dogs. Guide dogs are trained to help people who are blind or have low vision. Hearing dogs are trained to assist people who are deaf or hard of hearing. Service dogs are trained to help people with other disabilities, such as autism, cerebral palsy, and diabetes.

Assistance dogs can have a profound impact on the lives of their owners. They can provide independence, confidence, and companionship. For many people with disabilities, an assistance dog is a best friend and a loyal companion.
