An Assistance Dog is a specially trained animal that helps individuals with disabilities perform daily tasks. These dogs can assist people with various conditions, including mobility impairments, visual impairments, and mental health issues. They are trained to perform specific tasks, such as guiding, retrieving items, or providing comfort during anxiety episodes. Assistance Dogs are different from regular pets and are often recognized by their vests or harnesses. They play a crucial role in enhancing the independence and quality of life for their handlers. Organizations like Guide Dogs for the Blind and Service Dogs International train these dogs to ensure they meet the needs of their partners.
