Animals, such as dogs have been service animals for a very long time, and helped many people that suffer from many diseases. But, dogs aren't the only service animal out there. There can be animals like reptiles that also can help people that are struggling with diseases and or disabilities. This is how animals can help us with our everyday lives in many unique ways.
Dogs help humans in many different ways. In the article “how the US military's use of dogs affects their mental wellbeing” by Ellen Briat, it talks about how dogs help people in the military. In the first paragraph it says “From 2008 to 2009, Gina served a six-month tour of duty in Iraq. She was tasked with going door to door and flushing insurgents out after US marines threw

Yes, reptiles! Most service animals that are known to help humans are dogs. But reptiles such as snakes can also be very helpful for humans. They can also improve people's lives in very unique ways. In the a newspaper “Can a snake be a service animal?” by Nancy Bartley she states in the 3 paragraph “Redrock the boa, Greene says angrily, is a service snake who alerts him to pending seizures by giving him a hug.” This shows that reptiles such as snakes can be helpful because since he always has Redrock at his side his seizures won't be so unexpected because Redrock will help him and he would know not to get close to people. But if Redrock wasn't there his owner his seizures won't be that painful, which makes a snake a good service animal. Another reason why snakes can be a good service animal because Nancy states in the “The outcry was intense — with some 4,500 messages, more response than has been received for any other DOJ topic in recent memory, spokesman Alejandro Miyar said.” This shows that reptiles can be good or even great service animals because if reptiles can give medical attention to 4,500 people it shows how useful a reptile can be. After this event the president himself shut down DOJ before they could stop people to use reptiles as service animals. This shows how useful not only a snake but any reptile could be a service animal and make a positive change in a person's everyday
Thank you for responding, it really means a lot! I am 16 years old and I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder with the traits of paranoid schizophrenia (including hallucinations and delusions), chronic depression, and generalized anxiety.

An article from Better Homes and Gardens also shows how animals can be great teachers. One of the paragraphs specifically focuses on how animals teach us. "Companion animals are natural teachers. They help people of all ages learn about responsibility, loyalty, empathy, sharing, and unconditional love” (How Pets Help People, Better Homes and Gardens). This shows how much animals can help us
“If the fake service dog scam continues to escalate, real service dogs, and the privileges and respect they are entitled to, will be in jeopardy.” (Lichtenberg). Service dogs are needed for people with PTSD, Disabilities, Clinical Depression and GAD. A lot of people rely on these wonderful animals to help them get through the day. For example, people who use dogs to help with depression ,what if they get into a bad mood and attempt suicide, the dog will get someone's attention or can even call 911. Soldiers with PTSD suffer from flashbacks and the dog can calm soldiers down and help them know what is real and not. They are not meant to help people who just want to take their dog into the store or have “stressful” or “bad” days. We all get those. Service dogs are beneficial to the world and save lives, you should not be able to just order a kit off the Internet to “license” your dog to be a service dog. Lives are at risk and its wrong to mock the need of a service dog.
The benefits of animal-assisted therapy towards children varies, one of the benefits is to be able to bring out the best out of the child. The animal could connect with the child spiritually and could improve self-esteem because the child would finally feel accepted by the animal (Weston, 2010) as this quote stated, “A therapy dog may be the first creature who has listened and responded to the child with such enthusiasm and compassion. This can result in the child feeling heard and important” (Pichot, 2007 cited in Weston, 2010). The animals are capable of taking the pressure off the child as s/he is going through a difficult experience and being forced to deal with people, the animal can take up the role of being the child’s supporter. Animals can be used as a “bribe” because some children does not want to attend to therapy but is willing to show up because of the animal which is good because in the end the child would be able to receive the therapy s/he needs. Animals that are trained to be assisted therapy animal are capable of switching its beneficial roles to be able to comfort
At first sight, service dogs look like any other dog. They are furry. They walk on all fours. They have a tail. But they have many differences from other dogs. Service dogs are well behaved and are obedient. They wear clothing that no other dog wears such as a vest to make people aware that they are service dogs. Service dogs perform tasks that no other dogs can do, like paying for meals and carrying objects for their owners, sometimes in a vest compartment like a backpack. Service dogs are unlike other dogs because they are trained to do tasks that human beings normally do, but can’t because of some disability. Service dogs help their owners navigate the world they live in by assisting their owners in overcoming day to day
Animals have been there for us, even if we made the choice to leave them, they still decided to stay by our sides. Every new experience can make a person change, sometimes the change is negative and other times it is positive. Either way, there is no avoiding change. Animals are protective, understanding, and very helpful.
Animals help humans in our lives for sharing their features. Every new experience can make a person change; sometimes the changes are positive, and other times it is negative. Either way, here is no avoiding change. Animals are kind, helpful, and playful.
Dogs may bring happiness to veterans and help them through the rough times in life. PTSD takes the life of copious amounts of veterans each year. If we want to treat PTSD we need to give veterans a friend to be by their side.
People can largely benefit from animals through interaction. In the article “ Saying Farewell to a Faithful Pal, by John Grogan. He said one day when a stranger tried to hold one of the children, our holly giant showed ferocity we never imagined was inside of him.” IN this quote a person that showed a since of danger when this happened the animal then attacked. That animal attacked because they have a keen
When the Labs are just three months old they will be assigned a foster home. This family will care for the puppies for the next year.

Dogs are not just cute and fuzzy friends. Since it has been thousands of years that dogs have been trained to do things for humans, we can now count on dogs to do very specific jobs. For example, the article from the U.S. Department of Justice says, “Service animals are defined as dogs that are
Research groups do not allow abuse of animals in any form and they designate certain people to take care of the animals. All humans benefit from animal research in a certain way. Thanks to animal research, vaccines have been developed for polio, diphtheria, and measles. Chemotherapy treatments and insulin treatments were tested and developed thanks to animal research. With animal research, researchers were able to perform cardiac bypass surgery, perform organ transplants, and place stints through the femoral artery instead of open heart surgery. Under proper conditions, animal research can accomplish many things. Animal research can help humans understand diseases, create vaccines, create antibiotics perform surgeries to extend life, treat cancer, create pharmaceuticals that are safe to be consumed by humans and animals, and create ways to help benefit humans and animals walk easier or comfortably. Thanks to animal research, human medicine has advanced in extraordinary

Now in days anyone can buy a service vest and call there dog a service dog. Many dog owners are now discovering the option of bringing their dogs into public places without even worrying about whether their dog is welcome. This type of thing is seen all the time especially with women and small dogs being carried around in their purses. In many places such as Restaurants, hospitals, hair salons, and schools it has been noted that over the years the number of “service” dogs coming and going through there doors has increasingly gone up. Legally, there are consequences for trying to pass off a family pet as a service dog, but the legal community has found it difficult to prove which dog is a service do and which is not, due to the lack of legal registration, people are rarely being prosecuted for their offense.
But animal have some jobs with humanity. Animals have lack of capacity such as they are not active with their self. They have not knowledge about machines and other goods if they have then very much less. They are not killed or injured and give any loss to them without any reason. The behavior of animals is similar to nature of human.
