Helpfull Dogs!!

Lesson

Imagine not being able to reach a light switch, pick up keys when you drop them, or open a table drawer. Then imagine having a dog that could do all of that and more for you.

As well as being great fun for everyone, dogs can help people with physical disabilities. Dogs can be trained to pick up fallen objects, open doors, and turn on and off lights.

Dogs can also help people who are deaf or have difficulties with hearing. Hearing dogs can alert their owners by touch when they hear different sounds. They can be trained to recognize sounds such as the telephone, a baby`s cries. knock at the door, an alarm clock, or a name. Dogs can even indicate witch direction the sound comes from.

Guide dogs can help owners who are blind or difficulties with seeing. Actually, it`s not the owner who guides the dog. For example, dogs cannot actually read traffic lights the owner decides when to cross the street by listening to the sounds of lights or cars. Howerver, the guide dog will not cross the street if it sees danger.

hi

I'm Huwaida from Egypt

It's great to have loyal friends as dogs although I don't love dogs as pets

I just want to say that the word HELPFUL is misspelled

it has a single "l" not a double one

Hi, I'm Mehdi from Netherlands. Almost everybody here has a dog. Many of the are helpful because of their psychological relation to their owners. I like them special the smal white dogs.

Hello I'm from Trinidad and I once had a trained small bred pompeck. She passed away some years now. She used to guide my room, and bark when someone called me. She was cool. She used to understand me.
