Service Dogs

Service dogs are specially trained canines that assist people with disabilities. They perform tasks to help their handlers, such as guiding individuals who are visually impaired, alerting those with hearing impairments, or providing support during medical emergencies like seizures. Service dogs are protected under laws that allow them to accompany their handlers in public places. Unlike emotional support animals, service dogs undergo rigorous training to perform specific tasks. Their presence can significantly enhance the independence and quality of life for individuals with various disabilities.
