This is my reality and the absolute vital importance of my assistance dog. Even when he's off duty he still remembers and acts on his assistance dog training. ##caughtoncamera #live #assistancedog #medicalalertdog ##medicalepisode #flatcoatedretriever #dogs | Jessica Ball

At Dogs for the Disabled we value and love all our dogs, the cute puppies, our life changing assistance and task dogs, and those living out their well deserved retirement with our foster families. From time to time each of our dogs need a little bit of extra loving care, and little Tom need this help now!At a week old we identified him as having ‘swimmers disease’, common to over-sized puppies where they fail to develop normal walking patterns in the early weeks and their paws are splayed latera

I set up Dogs for the Disabled in 2007 and had my first child in 2008! All three of my children were reared around puppies and dogs! They don’t know what it’s like not to have dogs in their lives but it’s because of my own children I’m driven to help as many children as we can through our very wonderful dogs. Ellie has the most special affinity with dogs 💜💜💜 Jennifer x | Dogs for the Disabled

The command “get help” can be lifesaving. If a handler falls or gets injured and cannot call for help, a service dog trained to respond to “get help” can take action. With this command, the dog can press a special button that alerts someone nearby or sends a signal for assistance. This is just one of the many ways our service dogs support their handlers and help them live more safely and independently. | America's VetDogs
