Animal assistants are trained animals that help people with various needs. They can provide support to individuals with disabilities, such as service dogs that guide visually impaired people or alert those with hearing impairments. These animals are specially trained to perform tasks that enhance their owner's quality of life and independence. In addition to service animals, there are also therapy animals that offer comfort and emotional support. These animals visit hospitals, schools, and nursing homes to help reduce stress and anxiety. Both types of animal assistants play important roles in improving the well-being of individuals in different settings.
