I was not able to access the article, but would like to read it. The number of
psychiatric service dogs is also increasing. Our dogs are officially assisting
people with depression, PTSD, and other disorders.

It is something the GSDCA and all Breeders of Service Dogs to be aware of and
FIGHT FOR. This family is over $80,000 in debt, which is also causing SECURITY
CLEARANCE problems in Military. They need help and encouragement - not
Government RED TAPE and HOOPS to JUMP through. There is also a FOX NEWS CLIP on
the GSD and the family

This is a huge issue! There is a grey area in the Service Dog world. Guide
dogs have been in existence for a century. Seizure alert, autism, hearing
alert
and other service dogs fall into a grey area. Guide dogs have strict
guidlines,
regulations and certification requirements that are recognized Nationwide.
Other organizations don't have the same credibilty as these are more newly
recognized conditions in which a service dog is an asset. The organizations
are
fragmented and do their best, but they don't have the respect of the guide dog
organizations. That needs to change.
I have dogs out there that are service dogs for autistic children.
Fortunately,
the families have the support of their schools and communities. The dogs are
welcome anywhere. That is not the case everywhere.
The GSD community can help by being vocal with the media, supporting
organizations that provide service dogs, and becoming involved,either through
donations of dogs or money. Here is the key. Look for a non-profit that
provides service dogs free of charge for the recipient. Many require the
families to do fundraisers and pay up front to pay for a dog. Most of these
families are drowning in medical bills and all their time is spent caring for
the person in need of a service dog. They don't have time, money or energy to
aquire a trained service dog.
Seek out organizations in your area and get them on board with educating the
politicians that can change the rules and make them take up the cause.
Thank you for bringing this up. This is a great cause we can all stand behind
with our awesome breed.
