Dogs with Jobs

1Some dogs do more than play fetch. They have jobs! Working dogs learn special skills so they can help people every day.

2Guide dogs help people who are blind or cannot see well. A guide dog leads its partner around things in the way, like poles and holes. It stops at curbs and stairs.

3Hearing dogs help people who are deaf or cannot hear well. When a doorbell rings or a timer beeps, the dog touches its partner with its nose or paw. Then it leads the person to the sound.

4Therapy dogs visit places such as hospitals and schools. These dogs are calm and gentle. People who feel sick, sad, or worried can pet them. Many people feel calmer after a visit.

5Search and rescue dogs use their strong noses to find people who are lost. They can follow a person's smell through woods, fields, and even deep snow.

6If you see a dog in a work vest, it may be busy helping someone. Ask the person with the dog before you pet it.
