## Caption

#NationalSmileDay 😊 Service dogs are known to make their partners smile... and so much more. 🐕‍🦺 

Canine Companions #servicedogs can retrieve dropped items, push buttons for elevators or automatic doors, and even assist with making purchases; in fact, they're trained in up to 45 tasks. 

In addition, our service dogs who are specifically also trained to assist people who are deaf or hard of hearing can alert partners to key sounds, such as the sound of a doorbell, alarm clock, someone calling a name or a smoke alarm. 

Many of our service dogs are also trained to support #veterans who experience post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), trained in tasks, including anxiety and nightmare interruption, turning on lights, retrieving items, and supporting their handler in crowded public situations.

💪 Link in bio to learn more about how our service dogs provide enhanced independence.
