Dogs who help the handicapped and the blind, can't remove the handicap, they only can make the situation better. Besides that I see how a dog lights up the face of my handicapped brother, and I fully understand the power of dogs. You would have to experience it to really understand it, and believe their powers. The explanation of why people love dogs is as great as why dogs are so attracted to humans. This link between the two fills the gap of loneliness.
Dogs can be our best friends and companions.
They fill the roles as caretakers, listeners, and helpers. And being a owner of two dogs and also having a sibling who is handicapped, I see the effects dogs have on me and my baby brother. And I have no complaints, and suggest that dogs bring many positive qualities to the table. Bibliography Cherkes, Liat. Dogs Find a Home at a Nursing Home for Training, Socializing.
