Respecting Assistance Dogs: The Right Way

Our canine companions are gifts from a mighty authority. Most of the time, they live with us in our homes guarding our properties. Other dogs work with the government and private entities to help find missing people, sniff out illegal objects, or track criminals and terrorists.

But there is one category of heroic canines that deserve as much respect - assistance dogs. There are two categories of assistance dogs. The first is the service dog which helps the physically impaired such as the blind for navigation and those with mobility problems.

The second are therapy dogs who provide comfort to those who are facing mental distress such as post-traumatic stress disorders, anxiety, and depression. If you ever come across one assistance animal at work, show appreciation by not distracting the pooch from their duty.
