service dogs
Canine assistance animals
Service dogs are dogs trained to perform specific tasks for people with disabilities—guiding the blind, alerting the deaf, detecting seizures, or providing mobility assistance.
Unlike emotional support animals, service dogs have legal access to public spaces under disability laws.
