Dogs that are gentle and friendly are helpful to people because they are loving, and accepting. They don't stare because you are in a wheelchair, and they can be wonderful company for someone who cannot move about very much.

Some special dogs, who just love being patted and fussed over, come to visit lonely old people who live in a rest home. These people may have had pets of their own in the past, but they are not allowed to have them in the home. They are often very sad, and miss their old friends very much. So patting a friendly dog visitor is a special treat. |

A few dogs even visit people in hospital. This kind of dog wears a special coat, to show that it is a working dog. For someone very sick, patting a dog can make them feel a lot better. It makes them feel calm, and loving, and they will sleep a lot better that night. |
