Dogs, aside from being his best friend has also served man in so
many useful and varied ways - from shepherding, to cattle
rustling, to rescue, and protecting property. It doesn't come as
a surprise that they also are able to assist those who cannot
get about by themselves. Assistance dogs are specially trained
dogs that serve to complement, assist, and aid those that may
have some sort of limitation. They have also become
indispensable to some who have difficulty with mobility due to

Below are a few ways dogs have truly become man's best friend as
assistance dogs.
Guide Dogs:
When you mention assistance dogs, this is the first function
they perform that comes to mind. These types of dogs help those
who have visual impairment and help them move about
conveniently. They help these people cross roads, climb stairs,
and find their way around a place. They are usually able to help
these people manage even potentially hazardous areas.

in action and are usually heartwarming to see.
Seizure Alert/Response Dog:
These dogs are trained to hit a button that contacts 911 in case
of a seizure or cardiac attack. Operators are advised in advance
that calls coming from this line are activated by dogs. In turn,
they alert paramedics on a possible emergency situation. As with
most assistance dogs, they do not leave their owner's side and
are constantly alert and observant.

Dog:
Psychiatric Service Dogs provide an emotional security blanket
to those who may have mental illnesses and phobias. They also
help autistic people stay focused. These dogs never leave their
owner's side and provide steady, reliable companionship to their
owners.

assistance dog types. They are trained to assist those with
multiple disabilities or needs. Although their jobs may seem

reliability.

are not only 'tools' that assist a deficiency, but friends that
provide companionship for the duration of their lives.
