Can you spot an "Impawster"?🐶
Guess by answering: 👍 Assistance Dog 👎 Impawster Dog

The job a #ServiceDog is doing may not be obvious, such as;
🔘Seizure Alert
🔘Heart Alert
🔘Insulin Alert
🔘Traumatic Brain Injury assistance
Distraction can cause them to miss an alert, which may result in a life-threatening situation for their handler.

I am a Service Dog. I am working. People try to distract me all the time! Mom visited a busy Art Festival this weekend alone and independent because I was there to help her. Several people tried to get my attention - I ignore them. Listen and wait… PLEASE do not do this! #Monday
