Dogs Helping People

Some dogs are trained to help people with special needs. Assistance dogs help people with physical, hearing and visual disabilities. Other dogs, called therapy dogs, give comfort and emotional support to people who need a furry friend. Some therapy dogs are also trained to help people with physical therapy.
