This may sound insensitive or odd, though it may also be asked a lot: Is it possible for anyone to adopt/buy one of these specially bred dogs?

[CRFoundation]

@mebe They are in high demand, so it would not be an adoption. I'll bet you could buy one.

I have a condition in which I easily blackout(several times a day) and faint(and thus can crack my head open ect.) due to very low blood pressure and am currently trying to train my dog to bark for help if I faint and pass-out and can't call for help, or help steady me if I begin to faint. A doctor recommended it and I have a dog(golden/border collie mix) that is trained in obedience and well socialized but the doctor didn't know of any trainers that did this type of training. Any tips?

My service dog's breed is a W O R K I N G D O G!! They love their jobs and get kinda antsy if they aren't working. My service dog gets to have a great life and I've had him since he was nine weeks old. He does get to be a regular dog. Some ppl don't know what the hell they are talking about!!

feel bad for those 4 ppl who disliked it......really??????

[TheBahaiGirl]

@pnull service dogs enjoy their work... Even my dog who has an extremely difficult job as a psychiatric service dog. If I were a dog, I'd be bored of just laying around all day... Service dogs get plenty of love and attention.

@sparklerbombg IDK where you live, but I have a friend here in my state (Kentucky) who trains service dogs, and she says if your dog is a registered service dog then there is no legal way your landlord can make you get rid of it. However if you cannot get it registered your landlord/rental manager (I'm assuming you live in some sort of complex) can tell you either the dog has to go, with or without you going with it. But it would be up to the landlord and not some jerk neighbors.

[DawgLuver4Eva]

Aww. I want to train a service dog!

Man 4 people doesn't have any manner.. F*ck them!
