September is NATIONAL SERVICE DOG MONTH
September is National Service Dog Month. Let’s celebrate the human-canine bond and learn about expertly trained service dogs and how they help their partners live with greater independence.
A service dog is more than a vest – learn how you can recognize a legitimate service dog and become an advocate for people with disabilities by sharing your knowledge with others. Help raise awareness and appreciation for service dogs, and the hard work they do to help their handlers.
