Dawn~ I never said the article "was about service dogs".....
I said it was
evidence in favor of service dogs...it talks about the healing powers, the ability to lower blood pressure, the fact that
people who have their dogs with them live longer....
ALL of those statistics and facts impress upon us the great benefits of having an animal you can have with you all the time so they can work their magic and keep us calm and relaxed all the time. There are more and more service dogs who are used simply because of their instinctual ability to "heal" without any "special" training. They are so intuitive that they often pick up signals and symptoms that we do not even percieve. Dogs are so caring and do have special powers to heal a lot of ailments including pychological disorders and high blood pressure.
Service dogs are companion dogs too!
It is a perfect fit to discuss this article in terms of the benefits of a service dog who is the allowed to go everywhere with the ailing person and continue their healing powers 24/7. How can you argue with that? It is a positive comment not a negative one. Why do you want to debate this obvious point?
