I love dogs. I have a Golden Retriever.
A service dog is a certain kind of assistance dog specifically trained to help people who have disabilities, such as visual impairment, hearing impairments, mental issues (such as post traumatic stress disorder),r, mobility impairment, and diabetes.
I bet a Golden Retriever would make a great service dog.
A service dog allows one to have multiple outlets to a singular person.
That is really cool. I bet it is expensive.
The price for a service dog varies, but for the use it is priceless.
Some people that really need them probably cannot afford them. Is there assistance available for people that cannot afford them?
Specefically no, but there are very many alternatives cheaper than a service dog.
