Helping Paws

It's hard to understand about the needs of service dogs, and how to act around them unless you have one. Fake service dogs are unfortunately a thing, and so is ignorance about service dogs.


So, what's the big deal? Why does it matter? It matters because this leads to safety concerns for handlers and their service dogs.


In this book, real service dogs introduce the world to the life of a service dog. You'll learn about how hard working and how different each service dog and their tasks can be.


This book has been a collaboration. Service dog teams from all over the US and Canada have submitted images of their service dog, the dog's "uniform," and their tasks, to help tell the story of service dogs in an enjoyable but easily understood way.


In these pages you'll meet six incredible, hardworking service dogs who spend their days caring for the humans who depend on their help.


Every dog, uniform, and task in this book is real.
