Gold Award Girl Scout Dakota Coffey spread knowledge about the important role service dogs play in our society. 🐕‍🦺 Dakota saw the way a lack of knowledge of working dogs in her community led to increased discrimination against disabled people who benefit from them. Taking matters into her own hands, she led a series of presentations to teach kids, teens, and adults about the work service dogs do. Participants left these presentations knowing the difference between emotional support dogs and service dogs, the work different types of service dogs do, and how to behave around an on-duty working dog. Way to lead the way for change in your community, Dakota! 🌟🐶 #GoldAwardGirlScout
