The Impact Service Dogs Have for Muscular Dystrophy Patients

For anyone living with a disorder like muscular dystrophy, life can get pretty lonely and this is especially true for those who may not have as much access to the outside world because of accessibility issues. A service dog can provide a sense of companionship. Dogs are great company. At the same time, service dogs are also a great conversation starter. While, it’s recommended to never pet a service dog, often asking questions about the dog and their role is welcomed. Making new friends is not always easy, especially for kids who have muscular dystrophy, a service dog can help with overcoming some of the challenges and meeting new people.
