No.2 Service dogs undergo training to assist physically and mentally disabled people with their major daily activities. The dogs help blind people in moving around and they also help those in wheelchairs who have difficulty using their arms or legs. Their amazingly powerful sense of smell allows them to detect specific medical problems in people. A trained service dog can be instructed to switch on lights in a dark room, open compartments, carry things, and remind someone to take their medicine. This means that the owner, with the dog's assistance, can perform daily tasks and gain a sense of independence. Above all, service dogs are cherished companions offering emotional support. But training them can be quite costly. The most basic training costs $8,000. While advance training for a service dog for blind people can exceed $35,000. 13:51 Part F Give your opinion (2 items) No. 1 Q. Do you prefer to go out at night or stay at home? Explain why.
