NEW YORK | Eukanuba — Over 64 million Americans live with a disability*, but most do not have help from a service dog. Service dogs can pull wheelchairs, turn light switches on and off, open and close doors and drawers, pick up dropped items and more. With the help of a service dog that can perform over 45 different tasks, people with disabilities can live more confident and independent lives.
Service dogs are more than just companions; they are essential partners in navigating the world for many people with physical, sensory, and emotional challenges. These remarkable animals undergo rigorous training to provide support, independence, and comfort to their handlers, transforming lives in ways that words alone often fail to capture.
Since only a small percentage of people with a disability currently have the support of a service dog, Eukanuba and Canine Companions are celebrating National Service Dog Awareness Month with an innovative campaign.
