I was reading an article about a guy with aspergers who had a Psychiatric Service Dog. This is my first time hearing of a Psychiatric Service Dog, and now I'm really curious about it. Does anyone have one? What tasks does the dog do for you?

I'd love to have a dog again, and it being a service dog would be a good thing, but unless there's some special fund that helps cover of the dog's medical needs and food, I'd likely not be able to afford it even if one were available to me.

I can't see the page. There's an overlay that wants me to "sign up". I've signed up for enough things.

What would these results mean? Been told here I must be a "half pint".

Same for me. Dogs are expensive especially if they get sick.
