Yes, yorkies can be legitimate service dogs. They can be hearing dogs; seizure-disorder dog; assistance for seniors--picking up keys; making beds; etc.
Small dogs are excellent therapy dogs for children--I take my havanese and biewers to a reading program at the library and at the school. I've taken Bailey and Itzi to the VA hospital programs; children's hospital.
The important thing is that they provide a legitimate service to their owner or in a therapy program. To take a dog into a store or restaurant solely because you want to, denigrates those who need service and therapy dogs.
I'll be happy to discuss this further in a PM or email. |
