What they do is to give comfort and provide a very calming presence to those people that are admitted in the hospital, nursing homes, and other stressful situations. They do not really have to have a specific type of breed in order to become a therapy worker as long as they are sociable enough to be around people all the time and they have to be obedient. Usually smaller dogs work well in most of these situations. They are usually very cute and if you are going to toss in some things like accessories that would make them cuter, all the better.
Service And Assistance Work

Even until now, dog sleds are being used to travel through terrains that are impossible to pass. Back in the day they were used to go through terrains during the first expeditions to the north and south poles. Now, apart from letting people travel, they also travel to deliver medications and supplies to towns that are very isolated and hard to reach.
Search and Rescue
Dogs that are able to participate in search and rescue operations make the lives of the investigators much easier. Dogs have more powerful scenting abilities and that is why they are more able to detect the scent of missing individuals - either dead or alive. They do this in dangerous weather, through the wilderness and even underwater.

Dogs help in leading a number of kinds of livestock like sheep, fowls, and cattle among others. The most common herding dogs are Australian Cattle Dogs, Border Collies, and Kelpies.
Dogs have been a companion to people for a very long time and it is easy to see why. They do so much to improve the quality of life for us and they ask for little in return. It is no wonder that we spoil them like we do.
