How do service dogs help people?

In: Service Animals [Edit categories]

Answer:

Service dogs are individually trained to perform tasks that help their disabled owners overcome the limitations to daily life activities experienced because of their disability.

For example, guide dogs help blind owners around obstacles they cannot see. Hearing dogs signal their hearing disabled owners about important sounds like the doorbell, a smoke alarm, or a baby crying. Mobility dogs pick up dropped items for people in wheel chairs who cannot reach them.
