Service Dogs by Marsela M.

What would be a good service animal? Well, let’s do some research. According to the online research, one of the best service animals are dogs. They are great for traveling, physical help, and emotional support. 

First off, there’s physical help. According to a website called pinellascountry.org, any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual person with a disability, including a physical sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or any other mental disability is perfect. That’s because dogs sense when you’re feeling down. Some people feel down when they are unable to move around or are feeling unwell. Dogs help with physical challenges like fatigue, pain, and trouble walking. Service dogs also help people regain balance and prevent them from falling. To finish off, service dogs help you with everything you need from physical challenges and more.

Next, there’s emotional support. According to Ava.org, dogs help with more than just being a pet. Dogs are your best friends during emotional times. They help you through depression, social phobia, mental problems, and more. Depression is a horrible mental problem to have, and many people wouldn’t be there for you except your service animal. Life activities might be problems for if when feeling dizzy, having balance problem, having low blood sugar, experiencing a seizure, having panic attacks, being filled with stress, and having depression, whether it’s due from just a mental standpoint or is linked to physical issues. Basically, emotional help is something not to play around with. Dogs are and will be your best friends during those times.

To finish off, there’s traveling with dogs. According To servicedogregistration.org, traveling with your service animal is possible. This is especially the case when you’re up in the air and sitting next to a stranger in an airplane, or in a car for a long time. When it comes to service animals, airlines do not require more proof than “Credible Verbal Assurance.” This means traveling with your service animal at any time, which is possible thanks to the rules and regulations. Overall, traveling with a service dog is amazing because you have company, feel safe, and airlines allow the guidelines.

In conclusion, according to research, dogs as service animals are the best for physical help, emotional help, and traveling. Remember, not all airlines have the same rules, dogs may not take care of all physical problems and more help can be needed, and emotional problems may still need counseling, but with a dog you have instant company.
