Hi there and I'd like to say that I agree with everything other members have said. My own doggie 'Waggie', I absolutely can't live without. She is not a service dog in as much as she wasn't provided for me, but with my mental disability, she's my lifeline. It can be almost impossible to walk her when I'm very depressed, but I have to find a way. She loves me whatever state I'm in, good, bad or indifferent. The only thing I do worry about is possible vet costs. I've already had a few so far and she's only five years old. I have found most insures will allow you to pay monthly for your subscription, making it slightly easier BUT, it's still a very costly business. I urge you to look into every way of being awarded a service/utility dog because it could be the best thing you've ever done. Good luck!!
