Hello @lsittll . I was quite impressed the day I met a disabled woman who was giving a demonstration with her service dog. She was a wheelchair bound paraplegic with some use of her arms so she could control the leash. Her dog went through the paces of getting and bringing food without eating it, taking money or a credit card to a counter to pay a clerk, opening doors and dialing the phone for help. When she was at home, her dog was just like a pet that would cuddle and play. When they are wearing their harness/jacket, they are trained that they are working at that time so it is very clear to the dog when to be on guard and wait for instructions. To me, this was a very emotional and moving thing to see how much having an assistance dog could better her life. My family became involved with helping with fundraising efforts for the service dog organization which gave trained dogs at no charge to recipients and as a charity organization, they relied on fundraising events, and silent auctions, etc. Others volunteered as puppy raisers who would raise a dog the first year and do basic obedience training, then the dog would go to a professional trainer to learn the specialized skills. When the dogs were ready, they were paired with a person who came to the facility to learn how to work with the dog. At the end, there was a graduation ceremony and the new owner was presented with their service dog.

Do you know someone who may need a service dog?
