Most of us who have had a pet dog or a friend with one, will know how happy hanging out with a four legged friend makes us.

Whether we are already in a really good mood and want to go and play in the park, or have just been dumped, a cuddle with a dog can make everything seem that little bit better.

But, did you know that there are dogs whose job it is to help people full time? And not just for emotional support.

Some dogs even work for physically injured or disabled owners to make their lives easier.

Sometimes known as Assistant, Therapy or Service dogs, these dogs are trained from puppies for specific tasks to help disabled owners keep their independence and live a happy life.

Different from an Emotional Support Dog, which requires very little training and only a certificate from a registered health professional, a Service Dog is trained for a particular purpose from a young age.
