It changes to the title
“What is an assistance dog?”
A yellow labrador retriever with a purple vest give some keys to a hand
“An assistance dog is a dog that mitigates the disability of a disabled person which helps them in day-to-day life.”
Red bubbles containing a black guide dog in a white guide harness and a brown spaniel in a burgundy vest go across the screen.
“The most well known types of assistance dogs are guide dogs and hearing dogs”
A German Shepherd face is in the centre and 4 bubbles come out of its head. A red one with a white cross in it (medical alert), a blue one with a wheelchair user symbol in it (mobility assistance dog), a green one with a green ribbon in it (psychiatric assistance dog) and a gold one with a rainbow infinity symbol in it (autism assistance dog).
“but there are a wide range of other assistance dogs too such as medical alert dogs, mobility dogs, psychiatric assistance dogs and autism assistance dogs.”
A corgi-like dog in a pink vest is sitting in the centre, the camera zooms out revealing a white women holding the other end of the lead
“People with all kinds of disabilities can have assistance dogs so it”s important to respect all assistance dog partnerships even if the handler doesn”t look disabled.”
There is a man sitting on a bench with a brown poodle lying underneath him. It wears a white collar with a red tag with a white cross on it. The poodle looks up to a hand coming in from the side.
“Assistance dogs are trained to be non-disruptive and aren”t aggressive but it”s still important to ignore and to not disturb an assistance dog as this could put their handler at risk.”
There is a black woman with a white child looking at a wheelchair user with a mastiff type dog in a navy vest. The wheelchair user and mastiff are moving across the screen and the child is pointing at the dog [In the mobile version of this video, the child is not pointing]
“If you look after a child, remind them not to distract a working dog if you see one in public.”
There is a picture of the UK with Northern Ireland in yellow and Great Britain in blue. The yellow is keyed as Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and blue is keyed as Equality Act 2010
“In the UK, assistance dogs are protected by law when accompanying their disabled handler.”
There is a basket, restaurant and graduation cap (mortarboard)
This means that they can enter premises such as supermarkets, restaurants and universities where pet dogs may not be allowed.
A hand is holding a dogs paw, the paw fades out and then the hand does
“This means their handler can access these services independently when they may not be able to do without their assistance dog.”
There is 4 dogs sitting, a Malamute with a yellow vest , Rottweiler with a red vest, Springer Spaniel with a blue bandana and Pomerainian in a purple harness
“By law assistance dogs can be any breed,”
A picture of a certificate, orange vest and ID is shown. The certificate and vest fade out leaving just the ID.
“are not required to be certified or registered, wear identifying clothing such as a vest or harness or even have ID though some partnerships may choose to carry one.”
A paw print is shown and a no entry sign fades in over the paw print.
“This means services can”t deny access to a partnership just because they don”t possess one of these things”
