Service Dogs can liberate a life by
performing vital tasks for independence,
so an individual can overcome
obstacles and be more self-efficient.
But most impressive is a dog’s ability to connect
able-bodied individuals with people who have a disability.
Allowing us to appreciate the similarities we share
with others, instead of focusing on our differences.
Hosting an assistance
dog student is
a unique and rewarding
experience.
