Dogs are man’s best friend, they’ve been part of our lives for generations and have helped humans in countless ways. But we think it’s fair to say, that our dogs do some of the coolest things.
Here are the top ten cleverest things a Dogs for the Disabled assistance dog can be trained to do.
- They can pick up really difficult to reach things such as a phone, keys or a wallet. Some can even pick up a credit card!
- Our dogs help people to get dressed and undressed, they even tackle zips!
- They collect the post rather than attack the postman!
- They load and unload the washing machine. (Yes, really!)
- They can open doors
- They can interrupt a child’s tantrum
- They can stop a child from running into the road
- They can play games – one even plays pairs with his owner
- They can speak – although their conversation is a little limited!
- They can press the button on a pedestrian crossing
