A Person with a disability often feels secluded and need another's help. At this juncture, allegiance of a non-human aid is invaluable. A service dog is specially trained to aid disabled people.

Do you know somebody with a service dog? They will tell you what a blessing the dog has been in their life and how dramatically they have found a new friend. Service dogs are usually trained to guide, alert owner of intruders, provide protection and are even trained to dial a particular number in case of emergency. The training of the dogs is very critical as the health and safety of their owner depends on the dog's ability. Service dogs are often selected on the basis of their character traits; good temperament, good health and trainability are always desirable. Usually, they are trained from puppy hood itself.

Service dogs are often trained in special organizations. A thorough evaluation is made before the dog is selected for training. Service dogs are trained to focus and not get distracted. Then, the dog will be trained to meet the requirements of the owner as the requirement will vary with each individual.

What I found fascinating about these animals are that often the dogs outdo themselves. They are not only working animals but also loved pets. Many a times it is found that these dogs are even able to sense beforehand that their owner is about to have a medical emergency and that I will say is a special bond of hearts.

I think animals are so amazing! I have heard so many stories where dogs have sensed something was wrong with their owner and alerted them. People have found they had cancer when they had no idea. Animals are really awesome

I wish it was so easy to train the dog for making him ready to provide any service like collecting newspaper, crossing lanes safely, etc. I have been trying to train my dogs for about 3months now and I’m not able to even teach them to walk properly when taking a stroll. He keeps pulling me every where.

Sounds like my dog She's such a cutie, but if she sees a squirrel or another dog, it's like I'm not even there. She's pulling me around like crazy and acting all insane. It's pretty cute, but hurts my arm. It's hard to get mad at her. I almost took her to classes, but they're super expensive

Your right! I can’t possibly get mad at Alfa, he's damn cute. Here's his pic.... when he was 1.5month old & I guess there's lots of time for him to learn & adjust according to our living.

OMG what a cute doggie!!! He's too adorable to get mad at lol

Service dogs and the other animals that are meant to help people are my favorite kind of animal if I had to choose one. They are the only kind that don't bark at me when I walk by.
