Just about everyone in the world loves playing with dogs. With their cute faces, fluffy fur, expressive eyes, and wagging tails, these animals are about as adorable a friend you could ever ask for.
But while all dogs are certainly cute and fun to pet, that doesn't necessarily mean you should pet every single dog you see. If you see a service dog doing his job in public, it is always advisable to keep a safe distance and avoid distracting them at all costs.
If you're the kind of person who is reading this, you probably know this important information to begin with, but it certainly is worth sharing with your family and friends just to ensure that these amazing animals are given the freedom to do their incredibly difficult and important jobs properly.
That's because service dogs have been trained to focus completely on the human they're charged with taking care of. And while it might be fun for us to pet an adorable dog, it can often distract them to the point of endangering their human!
Just like the girl who had a seizure while her dog was being distracted, these animals need to be treated with the respect that they've earned. So please spread the message to everyone you know just to make sure that these dogs are allowed to do their job.
Please SHARE this message if you think service dogs are an incredible gift to humankind!
