Assistance dog

An assistance dog is a dog that receives specialized training to aid an individual with a disability by helping with everyday tasks. Many countries do not legally recognize assistance dogs. Those who do set strict guidelines, requiring dogs to pass formal training to receive legal recognition as an assistance dog, granting them access rights to public spaces, businesses serving the public, means of transportation, and workplace.
