Dogs can do anything.<\/h2>\n

Dogs are very responsible and intelligent animals. They are very loyal therefore they are genuinely concerned about their owner’s wellbeing. A dog’s intelligence always amazes me. If trained properly, no other animal can reach a dog’s level of obedience. Once you assign them to do any kind of work, they will keep on working tirelessly until they reach their goal. Many centuries ago, the dog was the only animal that was domesticated and at that time, they were only used for hunting and guarding.<\/p>\n

Today dogs are trained so that they can perform many various tasks like being a therapy dog, police dog, fire dog, guide and hearing dog, seizure dog, search and rescue dog, physical assistance dog, and many other jobs. Golden retrievers and labradors are the most common breed used as a service dog but any other breed can be a service dog. Scroll down to see a list of amazing dogs with their special duties and stories by their owners…<\/p>\n
