Today kicks off the 40th year of #InternationalAssistanceDogWeek, a time to celebrate and honor the incredible impact #assistancedogs (service dogs) have on people with disabilities. 🐕‍🦺 As one of the founding members of adiintl, a worldwide coalition of nonprofit programs that train and place assistance dogs, we're proud to be a leader in the #assistancedog industry. #Servicedogs are dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. At Canine Companions, we've provided over 8,750 human-canine bonds through our program, and we've transformed the lives of children, adults and veterans across the country. As we welcome the 40th year of this key milestone, we invite you to join our community to learn, support and share our mission of empowering people with disabilities, four paws at a time. ➡️ Follow us to join our community. . . . . #IADW #LeadWithIndependence #BetterTogether #servicedog #community #servicedogsofinstagram #servicedogsofins...
