Service Dogs are dogs that help and assist a disabled person.Service dogs are allowed anywhere people
are allowed to go, in buildings and on public transport. The most well
known service dog are the guide dogs for the blind or seeing-eye dogs.
They have been around for many years and are accepted by the public.
The
seeing-eye dogs are highly trained and as selective breeding has come in
they are breeding seeing eye dogs from parents who are also seeing eye
dogs. The most preferred breed are the Labrador Retrievers, Golden
Retrievers and the German Shepherd dogs, mainly because of their
temperament and intelligent and they about the correct size. Another service dog is the dog for the deaf.These dogs alert the owner to sounds like the telephone and the doorbell as well as fire alarms and sometimes crying babies. Service dogs, is an umbrella term that covers all dogs that help people like wheelchair dogs, mobility assist dogs, walker dogs and seizure alert/response dogs. Lately because of the marked increase in Autism there are dogs specially trained to help Autism suffers get out and about.
