service dog
Canine disability assistant
A service dog is a dog trained to assist a person with a disability—guiding the blind, alerting the deaf, detecting seizures, or providing mobility support.
Service dogs have legal access to public places where pets are typically prohibited: The restaurant couldn't refuse entry to her service dog.
Distinct from emotional support animals, which lack the same training and legal protections.
