It is important to recognize that a service animal is not in the same category as a pet. They are a working animal and in order to do their work, they need to focus on the person they are helping.

There are so many wonderful videos that show just how intelligent, compassionate and sentient animals are! When we see this there is no doubt that they should be treated with the grace and respect that all beings deserve.
