Do you know what a Seeing Eye Dog Is? Do you know what a Service Dog is? Have you ever owned one or know someone that has owned one of these very special dogs? Did you know dogs are love tied up in a large or small package? If the answer is yes, read on.

I have been reading up on dogs and all their fantastic achievements. They save peoples lives over and over again.

The seeing eye dog is a highly trained dog usually a German Sheppard or Labrador Retriever are highly intelligent animals. When these dogs are in harness they are working. There only thought is for their master. When out of harness they frolic, and play just like an ordinary dog. They are trained from puppy hood by living in their trainers houses and then are adopted by their new owners.

Seeing Eye dogs are the most visual and popular kind of dog we know the most about. They are highly trained so a person can walk safely down the stairs and down the street. The seeing eye dog lets it's master know if there is something in his/her path to trip on. They let their master know when it is safe to cross the street. The Seeing Eye Dogs are literally the eyes of their master and are loved for their special accomplishments as well as their companionship. Dogs can even help with the hearing impaired. They can communicate to their master when the telephone is blinking, meaning an incoming call.

There are dogs in law enforcement that are used at the borders and airports to sniff out drugs. There sense of smell is so tuned into drugs that the thieves have a hard time hiding their cargo from the authorities.

There are dogs called Service Dogs. These are dogs that help with every day living assistance. They help their master when they are wheelchair and bed confined get dressed. Their master can wheel themselves to there closet and drop the clothes chosen onto the floor. The dog will pick the clothes up and place them in their master’s lap. These dogs will push wheelchairs and remove laundry out of a washing machine. These dogs are also trained to open and close doors, meaning much more independence for their masters.
