A service dog acts as the arms and legs for someone who is physically disabled.  These specially trained dogs can help pull a person’s wheel chair, assist in transferring in and out of a wheel chair and act as a brace for someone with poor balance. 

 

Service dogs can carry items in a backpack, pick up objects, retrieve items, open and close doors, help a person get dressed or undressed, turn on and off lights, and so much more.
