[quote=Anonymous]What type of service dog, or for what type of special need are you getting the dog for? I mean, as a companion for a child with autism (in which case I wouldn't call this a service dog)? Assistance dog for a child in a wheelchair? Dog for a child with diabetes who will alert when the child goes low? Is your child blind? Deaf? There are different reasons people use service/assistance dogs (which are not to be confused or conflated with therapy dogs). I know of one diabetes alert dog that is being trained by the parents (with assistance from a professional trainer, of course) to alert them when their child is critically low blood sugars. But that's only because I see them on facebook. I don't know any service dogs for children in real life. Sorry! [/quote]
