I would first try and see if there was another class where the two girls could be separated in, to avoid a problem. For argument say if the two girls were together throughout the day, I would speak with the student afraid of dogs and try to explain to her how this service dog is a worker.

I believe if the service animal no longer shows the personality traits to be able to perform their work, the animal should either try another career or to retire. I think this way as without this, is not taking the animal into consideration or treating it humanly. Other standards should include; stoping work if an animal has become depressed, giving them vacations, more education and training to owners of service pets, only using non domesticated pets as service animals ex training dogs and not monkeys, assigning one caretaker or owner of the animal and change equipment if need be (Coppinger, Fine., Serpell, 2006). An example of this is to change the harness’ used by service dogs if they are digging in, or causing bruising. Applying these standards would make sure that service animals all over Canada have a safe and happy life while supporting humans, in a various and diverse range of jobs. Applying these standards could also help to increase interspecies solidarity and show society that animals are living, breathing emotive creatures that differ in personality and abilities, just as human beings do, and by providing laws and standards to ensure their wellbeing can further confirm that service animals and all animals in general are alike humans in many ways and have lives of their own. As well as understand that if we are to use their labour the least we can do is respect animals working conditions just as we fight and respect peoples working
