🐕‍🦺 This National Service Dog Week, we celebrate the dedicated service dogs that help people with disabilities live more independently and safely every day.
Service dogs are highly trained to perform specific tasks that support their handlers—from assisting with mobility and guiding people who are blind to alerting to medical conditions and helping with psychiatric disabilities. They are working partners whose skills make a life-changing difference.
