When I was growing up in the 70s there was only really one kind of service dog in the UK.  These were guide dogs for the blind or as they are called in America and other places “seeing eye dogs”.

Since then animals are used in a number of different areas to provide help and support for humans with such conditions as diabetes, multiple sclerosis and autism.

So we are very interested in finding out who has or does not have a service dog.  It would be great if you could share your views in our poll below.

Do feel free to use the comment boxes to share your stories about using services box.  Please feel free to post any photos as well!

Thanks in advance
