Service Dogs and the Disabled
Hello my name is Kristy Noble, I am a 36 year old mother of three. Who suffers with PTSD and major depression. A few years ago I was in a really bad car accident leaving me with many physical and emotional dissabilites. Due to these dissabilites I strugal from day to day with simple tasks making my life less enjoyable. I never really knew that dogs could help with some one like me. I thought they were only for the blind. I was unaware of the fact that dogs offer services to people with many different dissabilites. They can be trained to help with people who suffer from physocial dissabilites, Sezure disorders, Blind, deaf, diabedes, those who are unable to get around with out the use of a wheel chair and many other disabilities. After my doctor told me this I decided to research this a little further knowing that I may benefit as well from the use of a service dog. Just as I’m sure all disabled people who think about how a dog could benefit there lives I had questions. What exactly could a dog do to help me? Where do I go to get a service dog? How much would one cost? What if I can’t afford one? How could I use a service dog in public without having to share my medical information with people to whom I did not know?, and what dose the law say about using a service dog in places that clearly say No Pets allowed?
So I begain my research with what I felt to be the most important question. How could a service dog help me with my medical conditons? After some extencive research I found many answers to this question. Service dogs can be trained to assist with all sorts of different dissabilites. They are not only the eyes for the blind and the ears for the deaf. Dogs are also a big help to those who are in wheelchairs and have trouble getting around. They can also detect a diabidec of suden changes in the blood sugar, Bring medication to someone who is not able to get to it in case of an
